The Arizona OrganicAct was a United States federal law introduced as H.R. 357 in the 2d 2d and not 2nd so as to follow the abbreviation used then by the U.S. Govt. session of the 37th Congress on March 12, 1862, by Rep. James Mitchell Ashley James M. Ashley of Ohio . The Act provided for the creation of the Arizona Territory by the division of the New Mexico Territory into two territories, along the current boundary between New Mexico and Arizona. On February 24, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the bill once it had been approved by United States Congress Congress . The bill established a provisional government for the new territory. It abolished slavery in the new Arizona Territory, but did not abolish it in the portion that remained the New Mexico Territory. During the 1850s, Congress had resisted a demand for Arizona statehood because of a well grounded fear that it would become a slave state. The New Mexico Territory had a long history of enslavement of Native Americans in the United States Native American people, first by each other and later by Hispanic settlers. Although in 1860 there were relatively few African American slaves in New Mexico, the legislature formally approved of slavery shortly before the Civil War. During the war, the Confederate States of America established an entity called the Arizona Territory CSA Arizona Territory , which had different boundaries from modern Arizona. According to historian Martin Hardwick Hall, invading Confederate troops brought an unknown number of enslaved African Americans into the territory. Historian Donald S.
