What states did slavery take place?
the southern states in the united states
Why was slavery not inevitable?
As the industrial revolution was taking place in western European countries and in the United States, it may have not been foreseen, but the economics of slavery simply was not going to be a viable system. In the United States, speaking about the early 19th century, the cost and maintenance, of a captured work force would have soon enough fade away. When this might have happened in the US Southern States and in Union states that had legal slavery, is speculation.
Was slavery the cause of Civil War?
Civil Rights lobbyists always try to put slavery at the centre of the picture. But it was really the potential loss of the cotton revenues that worred the North, along with the fragmenting of the young American democracy.
What amendment outlawed slavery?
The Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Did the north and south fight for slavery?
The Southern states fought to expand slavery. Although only 1/4th of the southern whites owned slaves, the ones that did derived a lot of power from their labor and thus were the major political power in the south. The southern states' succession speeches are all consumed in the issue of slavery. Most don't even mention any other topic other than slavery and the ones that do only mention it in regards to slavery or the desire to spread slavery into U.S. territorial land. The North, on the other hand, is more complicated. Although there were certainly full on abolitionist who full-heartedly believed in the abolishment of slavery, most Northern whites probably did not fight to end slavery at first. Many may not have really liked blacks and some thought that slavery "kept blacks in their place." However, the northern people saw the southern slave owners as wanting an aristocratic caste power structure that the southern slave owners perpetuated in the south. This didn't sit well with the average northerner and the fact that the southern slave owners refused to accept a president legally elected by a majority vote only served to support the notion that the South wanted an oligarchy ruled by a minority elite class rather than the democratic-republic of the "Union" where each [white] man was equal. The taking away of slaves from the Confederate states was more of a punishment of the southern social and political elites by taking away their source of power (the slaves) rather than a rejection of slavery because Union slave states like Kentucky were allowed to keep their slaves until the 13th and 14th amendments were passed.

What were the number of slave states?
It depends on the date since slavery had been practiced in all the British colonies. The division between slave and free states began during the American Revolution (1775–1783).Five of the Northern self-declared states adopted policies to at least gradually abolish slavery: Pennsylvania (1780), New Hampshire and Massachusetts (1783), Connecticut and Rhode Island (1784). Vermont abolished slavery in 1777, while it was still independent, and when it joined the United States as the 14th state in 1791 it was the first state to join untainted by slavery. These state jurisdictions thus enacted the first abolition laws in the Americas. By 1804 (including, New York (1799), New Jersey (1804)), all of the northern states had abolished slavery or set measures in place to gradually reduce it.At the start of the Civil War, there were 34 states in the United States, 15 of which were slave states. ~Wikipedia
