In the history of the United States of America, a slave state was a U.S. state in which the practice of slavery was legal, and a free state was one in which slavery was prohibited or being legally phased out. Historically, in the 16th and 17th century slavery was legal throughout British Empire. It existed in all the British colonies of North America. In the Thirteen Colonies, the distinction between slave and free states began during the American Revolution (1775–1783). Slavery became a divisive issue and was the primary cause of the American Civil War. The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery throughout the United States, and the distinction between free and slave states ended.

The title of Olaudah Equiano's autobiography gives you an indication of an answer to this question. His memoirs were published in 1789 with the title, "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano<span>, or </span>Gustavus Vassa, the African." Note the fact that he identifies himself as "The African" as an emphasis on the theme of pride in his African cultural heritage. Kidnapped and sold into slavery at about age 11 in Africa, Equiano (who was given the name "Gustavus Vass" by one of his eventual owners as a slave), recounted in his memoirs the wretched experience of being brought to the Americas on a slave ship, as well as his experiences as a slave in the Caribbean, Europe and America. (He was bought by several different owners over time.) His last owner, Robert King, allowed Equiano to work to buy his freedom, and by 1768 he did so and went to England.
Nationalism and pride in one's place of origin was becoming more and more a theme in the 18th century and would dominate the 19th century. Equiano's life story emphasizes this sort of self-affirmation of who he was and where he had come from.
