You’re right, because when Oregon became a state, they made it illegal for black people to even live in the state.
You are not your state, but your intellectual dishonesty about its racist history (which you likely benefit from) because “slavery illegal” doesn’t portray you favourably

It was illegal to be black in the state at all. They didn’t ban slavery because they were abolitionists, they wanted a whites only state. Those laws remained on the books even after the Civil War.
