which northern states were the first to abolish slavery?
new york, new jersey, pennsylvania
pennsylvania, massachusetts, connecticut, and rhode island
louisiana, alabama, florida
boston, pennsylvania

Explanation:

Louisiana, Alabama, Florida are southern states, so they are eliminated. Boston is a city, not a state, so that option is invalid. The first northern states to abolish slavery included Pennsylvania (1780), Massachusetts (1783), Connecticut (1784), and Rhode Island (1784), which matches the second option.

Answer:

Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island
