In 1861, there were 19 free states in the United States. Additionally, there were several free territories, including Kansas, Nebraska, and others, which were not yet admitted as states. The distinction between free and slave states was a key factor leading up to the Civil War, as tensions over slavery intensified during this period.

By 1854, there were 19 free states in the United States, where slavery was prohibited. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 had established a line that delineated free and slave territories, but tensions were growing over the issue of slavery as new territories were being considered for statehood. This period saw significant conflict over the expansion of slavery, culminating in events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act later that year. Thus, while 19 states were officially free, the national debate over slavery was intensifying.
