There were seven states that had abolished slavery by 1803. They were Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont.
The "Border States" were slave states.
In 1803, Ohio became the first non-slave state out of the northwest territories. Citizens were divided on the subject, but it was an official non-slave state.
California became a free state in 1850, ending the balance of free states and slave states. However, the slave states got a tougher fugitive slave law as a result of California's admission to the Union as a free state.
Because if there were to be moe slave states than free states than one may rule at another and later on it will take over and have more control. Therefore, it was IMPORTANT to have the same number of free and slave states...without this we may have been either a free or a slave sate for the rest of our life...or until a president will decide to end it..along wih the congress.
The Confederacy was not a state. It was a group of states that declared themselves as a nation separate from the United States. The states that joined it were slave states.
