Slaves were only in the south. None in the north.
south
The North believed in a free labor system and the South believed in a slave labor system.
South
Freed slaves lived in both the north and the south. Being a slave was a legal status, and by the same token, being free was also a legal status. Therefore, once a slave became free, he was free to live and work in the south. Many free blacks owned plantations and bought and sold slaves.
The North and South were based on different economies. The North was mainly a industrial-based economy and the South was a slave-based agrarian economy. Second, the South feared that the North would outvote the South in the Congress and conceivably force the abolition of slavery onto the south, as well as taxes and tarrifs which favored the North. Third, the South contended that they were a part of the Union by their own consent and that they were able to withdraw that consent whenever it suited them, thereby avoiding being outvoted by the North. Yet in the end, the whole thing boiled down to slavery.
The North were free states and the South were slave states.

No, the civil war was only in The United States Of America. It was a Battle between the North and the South, the North being Anti-Slavery, The South being slave states. (The south also broke from the union and called themselves The Confederate States Of America.) ~Marcos
Being a slave is never good but you'd be better off joining the Northern troops as the South was less sympathetic to the plight of slaves.
