		These settlers tended to migrate to central and northern Illinois, causing a noticeable “Yankee” influence in northern Illinois as opposed to the “southern” influence in the southern region due to a majority of settlers coming from southern states.
		Laws were passed in Illinois after it became a territory in 1809 and later when it became a state, which allowed people to own indentured servants in Illinois, an equivalent to slavery, and other laws were enacted which prohibited people from coming to Illinois for the purpose of freeing their slaves.
