the south owned slaves
Slaves were only in the south. None in the north.
In the CSA (Confederate States of America, the south) slave owners were masters who OWNED PROPERTY...slaves. Slaves were auctioned as live-stock; property. In the north, this situation did not exist; at least officially.

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.
He was a slave for the south.
South
The slaves saw the north as an escape from slavery during the early 1700's. Most of the slaves were owned in the south of the United States and a slave had a chance at freedom in the north.
The slaves headed to the union so which was in the north.
North wanted new states NOT to be slave and the South did. Also the North economy was more industrialized and the South economy was more agricultural and relied on slave labor
North Slave owners did pay their slaves, but south slave owners didn't. See the following link.
Yes, Georgia was a slave state in 1760 because it is in the south part of the state.South and North were not deciding factors for slavery. There were slave states in the North during the war. After the civil war slaves were still slaves in the North. The issue of the war was over state sovereignty, not slavery. Slavery ended the December AFTER the war ended with the 17th amendment.BTW, there are also cases where black individuals owned slaves in the country and there were also black troops that fought for the South during the civil war.
