During the US Civil War, the Southern States of the Confederacy, consisted of 11 slave states. Union States of Maryland, Missouri, Delaware and the city of Washington DC also had slaves until the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery in the United States. The 11 Southern States were:
1. Texas 2. Louisiana 3. Mississippi 4. Alabama 5. Florida 6. Georgia 7. Tennessee
8. South Carolina 9. North Carolina 10. Virginia 11. Arkansas
Prior to the US Civil War, Southern states were sometimes referred to as slave holding states. Technically and in reality, until the Civil War, all US states were called US states. This is not some way to marginalize the antebellum period of the US.
