History of slavery in Illinois : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of slavery in Illinois Slavery in Illinois existed for more than a century. French settlers introduced African slavery to the Illinois Country in the early eighteenth century. French inhabitants of Illinois continued the practice of owning slaves throughout the Illinois Country's period of British rule, as well as after its transfer to the new United States. The Northwest Ordinance banned slavery in Illinois and the rest of the Northwest Territory, but many slaves remained in bondage in the state until their gradual emancipation by the Illinois Supreme Court. During the early decades of statehood, the number of slaves in Illinois dwindled before dropping to zero; nevertheless, anti-Black sentiment remained strong in the state, and laws made it difficult for Black people to enter or live in Illinois. ==Colonial period== French settlers first brought African slaves into the Illinois Country from what became Haiti around 1720 under the legal terms of the Code Noir, which defined the conditions of slavery in the French empire and restricted the activities of free Black persons.〔http://www.museum.state.il.us/RiverWeb/landings/Ambot/Archives/transactions/1901/IL-slavery.html〕〔http://www.freedomtrails2legacies.org/slavery.htm〕 The first documented slavery in Illinois was in 1721, when Philip François Renault brought five hundred African slaves to the territory. After an unsuccessful attempt at mining, Renault founded St. Philippe, Illinois, in 1723, and used his slaves to produce crops. The institution of slavery continued in Illinois after Britain acquired the Illinois country in 1763 following the French and Indian War. At the time, nine hundred slaves lived in the territory, although the French would take at least three hundred with them as they left the state for lands west of the Mississippi River.
