During the time before the Civil War, free soil doctrine was to not have slavery in any new states admitted into the Union.

Missouri, however, was a Slave State that did not secede.
The United States divided and eventually started the Civil War. During the Civil War, more Americans died than in any other war.
Correct, because at the time of the Emancipation Proclamation, there were no slaves in any of the Union's territories or states. However, when the Confederacy lost the Civil War and was thus re-united with the U.S.A., those states had to free their slaves.
No, there were no mexican slaves during the war. There is no history book in the world that states that a mexican was enslaved and forced to work for an american.
From early 1862, Union troops were licensed to free any slaves belonging to people who were prominent members of the Confederate government or army. From January 1863, they were licensed to free any slaves they came across anywhere in the rebel states. This greatly reduced the Southern workforce.
In any civil war, one part of a country is fighting against another part. In the case of the US Civil War, it was the northern states, also known as the Union, against the southern states, also known as the Confederacy.
No, after the Confederate States of America lost the civil war, there were no more Confederates. They lost the war.
There are no 'civil wars' in any US States; we have not had a civil war since 1865.
The Confederate States of America (never officially recognised by any other nation) and the rest of the United States, normally referred-to as the Union during the course of the war.
First, the term 'America' refers to the entire western hemisphere. 'America' includes the continents of North America and South America. During the Civil War, the United States of America continued to exist. The North was referred to as the 'Union' and the South was referred to as the 'Confederacy.' The United States of America refused to recognize any right of a state to secede from the Union, and thus did not recognize the Confederacy.
Existing states did not. But the Western counties of Virginia seceded from Virginia when that state voted Confederate. The new state of West Virginia joined the Union in 1863.
