In 1700, New Hampshire had a small number of enslaved individuals, with estimates suggesting around 100 to 200 slaves in the colony. Unlike southern colonies, slavery in New Hampshire was not as widespread, as the economy was less dependent on slave labor. However, some enslaved people were present, primarily in urban areas and among wealthy households. The institution of slavery gradually declined in New Hampshire over the following decades.
