	Slave state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A slave state is a U.S. State that had legal slavery (overwhelmingly the enslavement of African-Americans, although historically also the enslavement of Native Americans, and Whites through indentured servitude) in the period leading up to the American Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation.
		As the population of the free States began to outstrip the population of the slave States, leading to control of the House of Representatives by free states, the Senate became the preoccupation of Slave state politicians, interested in maintaining a Congressional veto over federal policy in regard to slavery.
		In 1854, the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was repealed, and an effort was initiated to organize Kansas, as a Slave state.

	Free state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The free states of the United States existed in opposition to the slave states prior to the American Civil War.
		The Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic States, including Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, had legally sanctioned slavery in the 17th, 18th and even part of the 19th centuries, but in the generation or two before the American Civil War, almost all slaves had been emancipated through a series of statutes.
		Because this region was entirely slave free from its inception, and separated by the Ohio River from the South, which was pushing an expansion of legal slavery into the West, the concept of "free states" developed in constrast to "slave states".

		Slaves are constantly on the move, either forced to accompany their masters or sold as part of the ever-widening domestic s lave trade.

		The greatest concentration of large slave plantations was along the lower Brazos and Colorado rivers in Brazoria, Matagorda, Fort Bend, and Wharton counties.

		Because the law of Missouri, under which he was held as a slave, had no operation by its own force extra-territorially; and the State of Illinois refused to recognize its effect within her limits, upon principles of comity, as a state of slavery was inconsistent with her laws, and contrary to her policy.
		And it would be a sufficient answer to refer to the judgment of the highest court of the State in the very case, were it not due to that tribunal to state somewhat at large the course of decision and the principles involved, on account of some diversity of opinion in the cases.
		It is said, however, that the previous cases and course of decision in the State of Missouri on this subject were different, and that the courts had held the slave to be free on his return from a temporary residence in the free State.

	Today in History: August 10
		The question of Missouri's admission as a slave or free state led statesman Henry Clay to devise the Missouri Compromise of 1820, admitting Missouri as a slave state while admitting Maine as a free state, and prohibiting slavery in Louisiana Territory north of the parallel 36º 30', Missouri's southern border.
		Missouri was the westernmost state in the Union until Texas was granted statehood in 1845.

	Capitalism Magazine: A Slave State: Society in Sir Thomas More's Utopia by Alexander Marriott
		This is mere speculation though as the text merely says that there are few laws, but given that the number of things the state in Utopia does is quite large, it seems quite reasonable for there to be some sort of un-codified legal justification in place of written law.
		It's one thing if a foreign government is either killing one's citizens or condoning their killing, but to declare war on a country that would like to try and punish its own murderers seems absolutely irrational.
		The underlying premise of More's Utopian state, the well-being of the society and not the protection of individual rights, has been made the stated goal of many states in the twentieth century and with policies very similar to the Utopians.

		But in a response, the "master - slave" terminology was raised again.
		So, as if there were an ultimate transition from any slave state to any other slave state, the master decides which state it wants the slave to be in and puts it there, without any required cooperation by the slave.
		Cooperative state machines can use flags, variables or the states of other machines to be active in transitions, and allow changes of states accordingly.
