Answer:

"Arizona Organic Act"

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, Mostly during Civil War, Congress approved the "Arizona Organic Act," which created the modern Arizona Territorial from the western section of the then 12-year-old New Mexico Territory and outlawed enslavement in the new State. Due to older Mexican traditions, regulations, and population patterns slavery was already severely restricted in New Mexico.
