Display Posts from one category only

I’ve been through all the different walk thrus on here. None seem to match up to my code. Or I’m just scared of PHP
I have a custom post type named ‘events’ and I have categories of all 50 states. I only want to display events of the same state on each page. I have the page setup. I can create 50 different pages. But I cant figure out how to only show certain states. Now I have setup categories. I can’t tell their #’s (maybe someone can show me how) but they are named Arizona, California, etc…same with the slugs. Here is the code of my ‘upcoming events’ page that I am using.

<div class=”ev2page clearfix”>
<div class=”title-head”><h1>Upcoming Events</h1></div>’;
$term = get_queried_object()->slug;
$query = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘event’,

‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
‘order’ => ‘asc’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 10,
‘meta_value’ => strftime(“%Y/%m/%d”, time()- (60 * 60 * 24) ),
‘meta_key’ => ‘event_date_interval’,
‘meta_compare’ => ‘>’,
‘taxonomy’ => ‘events’,
‘term’ => $term

Thank you for looking at this for me.
