What was the first us state to declare slaveiory illeagle in 1652?

The first U.S. state to declare slavery illegal was Massachusetts in 1783, following a court decision that effectively abolished slavery in the state. However, the first colony to legally recognize slavery was Virginia in 1661. The confusion often arises from the 1652 law in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which allowed for the enslavement of Indigenous people but did not establish a permanent legal framework against slavery.
