During the peak of slavery in the United States, the majority of enslaved people lived in the Southern states. By the time of the Civil War, only about 1-2% of the total enslaved population resided in the Northern states, as Northern states had largely abolished slavery by the early 19th century. Therefore, the percentage of slaves in the North was minimal compared to the South.
