There were a lot more slaves in the South because Northerners were trying to get rid of slavery. It's where the slaves ran away to be free. In the South, 1/3 of the population were slaves. That's one of the main reasons they lost the Civil War, the blacks (as slaves) weren't allowed to bare arms. (: (I just learned this at school) lol

Fully 3/4 of southerners did not own slaves at the eve of the Civil War.
depends. Plantation owners had slaves ranging from 20 to 100s. home owners had slaves as servants ranging from 1 to 3. the armies too had slaves. the number of slaves owned depended on the needs of the owners.
