Excerpt from Study of Alternatives: Western Pennsylvania Region: Its Landscape, People, and Industry In November 1992, the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission, acting under the authority of Public Law 100-698, requested that the National Park Service, Partnerships Branch, undertake four studies of the iron and steel, coal and coke, glass, and aluminum industries in the western Pennsylvania region. The studies were to evaluate the resource bases related to these four industries and develop viable alternatives for their conservation, use, and interpretation. Close coordination with state and local partners, both public and private, was considered vital to the successful completion of these planning efforts. The study team determined that the diverse stories of the political, social, and economic development of western Pennsylvania would guide the methodology of data collection for the resource inventory. The region's industrial heritage cannot be understood completely without some appreciation of the other significant chapters in its history. The stories of the brutal warfare of the colonial era, the explosive American expansion in the early 19th century, the technological advances in transportation, as well as the rise of American industry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reinforce the fact that the region's role as a vital crossroads and rich resource base remained remarkably consistent over time. The stories of these events, combined with many of the region's resources, would give visitors a clearer understanding of how the evolution of one region can alter the history of an entire nation.

Slavery and unfree labor have been a subject of growing interest for historians, particularly when dealing with frontier areas and the rise of capitalism. Recent studies have shown that slavery and unfree labor existed well into the antebellum period in the North despite the lack of legal support for the institution. Few historians have identified the importance of slavery in the development of western areas, however, particularly in the Appalachian regions of western Pennsylvania and Maryland. As a result, concerted study of slavery in rural, western areas is lacking, particularly in the borderland region between slavery and freedom along the Mason-Dixon Line in the western areas of Pennsylvania and Maryland. "Frontier Capitalism and Unfree Labor in Appalachia: The Development of Western Pennsylvania and Maryland, 1780-1840" remedies this gap by examining this border region, analyzing how various labor systems (slave, free, term slave) affected the development of capitalism and how wider debates over slavery and freedom affected that development. The period covered is one in which this region underwent dramatic social and economic change, beginning with concerted settlement efforts after the Revolution and the rapid development of a developed economy, stratified society, and hardening racial thought. Beginning in 1780 with the passage of the gradual emancipation act in Pennsylvania, this region was divided by an artificial, political border between slavery and freedom. In theory Pennsylvania developed into a free state but in practice, unfree labor forms existed well into the antebellum period. The Maryland side of this region developed along the same path, quick economic development, social stratification, and hardening racial thought. What is most evident, however, is the quick growth of slavery in this region of the state, despite contrary trends elsewhere in Maryland and the proximity to the border with Pennsylvania. Indeed, sales of unfree laborers (primarily African Americans), fugitive slaves, and the tensions of being close to the border effected social, political, and racial development on both sides.
