Back then in America, there was slavery. Although the North had slavery as well, the South treated their African American slaves poorly. This influenced the North to go against slavery, and the South split off temporarily. Then, the two territories went to war with each other, known as the Civil War, and the Union (North) defeated the Confederates (South), causing them to reunite. Slavery was abolished after that.
No- none of the states of the US want to leave the United States. North Carolina is very happy to be a part of the US nowadays.
because they didnt want him to make slavery illegal !
Yes, that is one of the main reasons 11 of the Southern states seceded from the Union, and attempted to form the Confederate States of America, which was a main cause of the US Civil War.
No, but there are 13 Southeast states of the US.
The southern US states form the Confederate States of America
There are not sixteen states on the Southern coastline of the US. I count six. Go to a map of the United States, locate the Southern coast (that's along the Gulf of Mexico) and check the names of the states.
No states in the US practice slavery. Some states USED TO but not anymore.
The Civil War was fought because a group of states in the southern US wanted to split away and form a new nation that would be run the way they wanted. The 11 Southern states the broke away (or seceded) were known as the Confederate States. The Union were the remaining states within the United States that fought to keep the southern states as part of the country.
the northern states and southern states in the eastern us.
The US officially split during the Civil War in 1861. The southern states did secede from the Union, being the United States. When a secession occurs there is a withdrawl from the original entity. Thus forming the Confederate States of America whose president was Jefferson Davis. The United States, of course, at the SAME time was run by President Abraham Lincoln.

AS YOU CAN SEE, NOT MANY STATES JOINED THE SOUTHERN STATES. MANY JOINED THE NORTHERN STATES !
