History of North America

Did the southern and northern states of America feel same about slavery?

The Southern and Northern states of America did not feel the same about slavery. The Southern states were largely agricultural and relied on slave labor to maintain their economy, while the Northern states were more industrialized and did not have the same need for slaves. As a result, the Southern states were generally in favor of slavery, while the Northern states were opposed to it.

The differences between the Southern and Northern states on the issue of slavery led to a great deal of tension and conflict between the two regions. In 1861, the Southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America, which fought a four-year war against the United States in order to preserve slavery. The war ended in 1865 with the defeat of the Confederacy, and slavery was abolished in the United States.
