B. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island

C. Louisiana, Alabama, Florida

D. Boston, Pennsylvania

Answer 1

Answer:

The Republic of Vermont had limited slavery in 1777, while it was still independent before it joined the United States as the 14th state in 1791. These state jurisdictions thus enacted the first abolition laws in the Americas.

Explanation:

This is my answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

Explanation:

The first ever state was Pennsylvania, this takes out C. We are now left with A, B and D. Now, Boston is not a state, it's a city in Massachusetts, so it's not D. Which leaves us with A and B. I know that Rhode Island is the next state, so the answer is B as our answer
