If slavery built the USA in general, then how did slavery build Montana specifically? Montana became American territory in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. It would then become the 41st state in 1889, that is 23 years after the 13th amendment abolished slavery. Today, less than 1% of Montana's population is Black.
