There were a lot more slaves in the South because Northerners were trying to get rid of slavery. It's where the slaves ran away to be free. In the South, 1/3 of the population were slaves. That's one of the main reasons they lost the Civil War, the blacks (as slaves) weren't allowed to bare arms. (: (I just learned this at school) lol
