Also, Oregon was as close to a white ethnostate as has ever existed in America; in 1844 they passed a law that force freed any slaves after 3 years and expelled any free blacks from the state on pain of repeated lashings. The original state constitution forbid slavery, but also had a “whites only” clause.
Oregon has been a complicated place for a long time.
