The 15 free states in the United States prior to the Civil War were states that prohibited slavery. They included California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. These states formed part of the Mason-Dixon Line's division between free and slave states, reflecting the growing tensions over slavery in the nation.
