One interesting fact about Vermont is that it was the first state to abolish slavery. In 1777, Vermont became the first state to include abolitionist language in its constitution, declaring that "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, but by the judgment of his peers or the law of the land." This made Vermont the first state to ban slavery, even before it became part of the United States.
