This symposium undertakes a consideration of the quest ion of slavery in the so-called "Free States," presenting cutt ing-edge scholarship by senior, mid-career, and early career scholars. O ur authors cover a range of jurisdictions across the expanding United St ates, using a variety of methodological tools and offering a wide breadt h of theoretical insights. Each paper will focus on the symposium theme of slavery and bound labor in jurisdictions that ostensibly banned the p ractice. Our authors probe their topics from several different angles, a nd the symposium as a whole reveals both the diversity in regimes and ex periences of unfree labor as well as overlaps between the forms of unfre edom African and Native Americans experienced before 1865.
