The Oregon Territory passed racial exclusion laws forbidding African Americans from settling there. The first, passed in 1844, declared slavery illegal yet compelled African Americans to exit within three years. Anyone staying longer could be whipped “not more than 39 times.” The second passed in 1849. It banned, as the law spelled it out, any “negro or mullatto to enter into or reside in” Oregon country. At least four Black men received punishment under the statute, but were eventually allowed to stay.
