Massachusettes abolished slavery in 1783 so that can't be the case. Of the Northern states only Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware were slave states along with the District of Columbia. West Virginia was admitted in 1863 with a state constitution that called for graduated emancipation. In 1863 the Delaware legislature passed a law ending slavery in that state. By January 1865 both Maryland and Missouri had amended their state constitutions to end slavery. Slavery was ended in D.C. by act of congress in April 1862. Kentucky was the lone holdout when slavery was officially outlawed in December 1865 by adoption of the 13th Amendment. I have no idea how many slaves were being held in Kentucky in December 1865 but I don't doubt that there must have been some.

They also abolished marijuana in 1935 & you'd probably like to convince us that no one in Massachusettes has gotten high since.
The 1800 census shows over 60 rum distilleries in business in Massachusettes. Tell us what you think they were doing with that much rum 17 years after slavery was abolished.
