Was slavery a part of the reason North Dakota and South Dakota split?
No, slavery was not a part of the reason North Dakota and South Dakota split. North Dakota and South Dakota were part of the Dakota Territory from 1862 until statehood in 1889. The reasons North Dakota and South Dakota were split had to do with the population centers which, at the time, were several hundred miles apart and with the large size of the territory. There was also the fact that the Republicans wanted two states because that would add to their political power in the US Senate.
