Free & Slave States During the Civil War
This is a map of free/slave states during The Civil War. Analyze the map and notice which slave states are in the "Union" (The North).
1)Does it surprise you to see that there were 8 slave states that sided with the North in the Civil War? And that the Confederacy (The Southern Seceded States) were only made up of 7 states.
2) After reading our chapter on States Rights v. Federal Rights, what reasons can you think of that the 8 border "slave" states that did not secede stayed with the union?
3) How could the Union use these states to their advantage?
