In OTL slavery existed all over the Colonies in 1776. It was gradually abolished in Northern states, starting I think in New England.
What happened to former slaves?
I am aware that Virginia considered abolishing slavery in the early 1830s. I believe that at that time the North South line was not as clear cut.
What does the history of say New York say about what might have happened in Virginia and other border and upper south states?
