Which side were fighting for slavery the north or the south?

The south was the slaveholding section, though there were still a few slaves in the north. Slavery had once been legal in all the states. But the south was not fighting FOR slavery. Most Confederate soldiers did not own slaves. Slaves were expensive. Think about it - would you go fight, and fight hard, for years, just so some rich man could keep his slaves? And the north was not fighting against slavery, at least not at first. The north was fighting to "preserve the Union", which the southern states wanted out of. The southerners were fighting for their independence. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation came after a year and a half of war, and changed the war into one which we look back on today as "for" or "against" slavery.

How many states outlawed slavery in 1776?

In 1776, several states in the northern United States began to take steps toward abolishing slavery, but none had completely outlawed it by that year. However, states like Pennsylvania and Vermont passed gradual emancipation laws shortly after, with Vermont declaring itself a free state in its 1777 constitution. Overall, the movement toward abolition started gaining momentum in the late 18th century, but complete outlawing of slavery in states did not occur until later.
