You could just try looking the information up, instead of relying on the faulty memories here in Yahoo! Answers.  \n\nBut, just to try and help you out...New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Illinois, etc.  Pretty much every state North of the Mason Dixon Line were non-slave holding states.  Missouri was one that was in contention as it was North of the line, but when it achieved statehood, it was granted the right to be a slave state in 1851, if I remember my history correctly.

There are entire books on this subject, so I'm not going to get too detailed.\n\nThe practice of slavery was an issue left up to individual states.  The states in the Southern region chose slavery because their economies were largely agrarian.  They produced raw goods like cotton.  The states in the Northern region were primarily industrial.  They produced finished goods, which meant they had less of a need for slave labor.\n\nWhen the country started spreading to the West, the Southern states assumed the new territories would be able to vote individually on the slavery issue.  The federal government, which tended to sympathize with the more developed Northern states, decided that it should be the one to assign 'slave' or 'non-slave' status as each new state was recognized.  The idea that individual states would no longer have the power to determine their own policies was objectionable to Southern representatives in Congress.  They voted to secede from the Union in order to preserve the rights of individual states.  The federal government desperately wanted to keep the supply states and the manufacturing states together for economic strength.\n\nIt's easy to portray the Southern cause as immoral, but in reality the number of large plantations with large slave populations was minimal.  The majority of Southerners were no more racist than Northerners.  The federal government eventually prevailed through superior firepower, not superior morality.

North and South. Union and Confederate, it was the war over abolishing slavery. The Confederates left the United States, and started the own government as rebels and traitors. The Confederacy had it's own money (currency) and President, although I can't remember what his name was. The North (Union) defeated the South in the Civil War, and reunited the United States. So look up the Civil War on the Web through "Ask Jeeves". Good Luck.

I think he had a goat he liked to have sex with. He had dogs, cats, some abolished slaves, and parakeets.  He had a number of farm animals when he lived in the country.\n\nMany Southern states made it clear that if Lincoln was elected, they would secede (leave the Union). The South was against Lincoln because he opposed slavery. South Carolina was the first to secede in December 1860. Six other Southern states followed: Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. After Lincoln's inauguration, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina also left the Union. These states became known as the Confederacy. The secession of the Southern states led to the first shots of the Civil War when the Confederates seized Fort Sumter in South Carolina in April 1861. \n\nLincoln faced the greatest national crisis of any U.S. President. He hated war and the death and destruction it would bring. However, he accepted war as the only means of saving the Union. He warned the South in his Inaugural Address:\n\n"In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you... You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve, protect and defend it." (Abraham Lincoln Web Site) \n\nAs the nation neared the third year of the bloody Civil War, President Lincoln issued the historic Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." \n\nThis proclamation actually freed few people. It did not apply to slaves in the Border States of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware; nor did it affect slaves in southern areas already under Union control. Naturally, the states that had seceded did not act on Lincoln's orders. But the proclamation showed Americans — and the world — that the war was being fought to end slavery. \n\nAlthough the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it changed the way black men were accepted during the war. Black men could join the Union Army and Navy. The liberated could become the liberators. By the end of the war, nearly 200,000 black soldiers and sailors fought for the Union and freedom. \n\nOn November 19, 1863, President Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The speech dedicated the battlefield to the soldiers who had died there. The battle site became a military cemetery. Lincoln stated in his moving speech: "...we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." (The National Archives.)\n\nBush needs to learn from this guy although he already has goat. He should not give part of America to the arabs.

The American Civil War?\n\nThe North and The South.\n\nI believe Kentucky and Mizzou were neutral.  I also think California was in the south (not sure).\n\nEDIT:\n\nThe American Civil war was NOT fought because the south wanted slavery and the North did not.  The American Civil War was fought because the South believed they were not getting a fair shake and decided to break away from the union.  Lincoln said that was illegal and we fought a war to keep our nation whole.\n\nAbolishing slavery was a really great side effect of the war.  BTW, the Emancipation Proclomation did not free all slaves.  It only freed the slaves in states rebelling against the North.  Therefore the slave states that did not secede and fight in the CSA still had legal slavery.

You betcha!  Go to the National Park Service's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System at http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ and click on "soldiers."  When that comes up, type in the name "Elsasser" (and if you want, "Pennsylvania").  \nI typed in just the name and got a very long list---most from Pennsylvania.

There are so many. The signing of the Constitution of course, but if the Union hadn't won the Civil War, things would definitely be different. Those are the ones I thought of right away.

The Union Army had much more funding for developing repeating weapons such as leaver action rifles, the Gatling gun and the like.  By the late war their technological advantage was substantial.\n\nThe south acted as 13 different countries for accusations (each state bought stuff for their army) purposes while the north acted as one organization.

Slaves in both the Confederate States of America and the United States of America continued serving their masters. Many slaves in both went to war with their owners, others continued their servitude in their occupations prior to the war. Slave owners in the United States were not forced to free their slaves by the Emancipation Proclomation and contiuned to work their slaves until the conclusion of the war.

Former slaves, who were only thought as property and less than human, now were counted as part of the population. And even though many went North after the end of the Civil War, most stayed in the place where they knew. So if there was a plantation, which had over a hundred slaves that were not counted as part of the population before, now were considered part of it. And as you know the House of Representatives gives as many seats out for each state depending on how many people live in the state and not on how big the state is. And more representatives meant more political power in Washington, DC. Don't forget also, that the Southern states after the Civil War were not governed by Southerners, Northerners were put in charge and Reconstruction took place (which was both positive and negitive).

Mason and Dickson were Geographers who surveyed the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland, this became known as the Mason Dickson line.\n\nPennsylvania is the southern most Free state and Maryland is the northern most Slave state so it was used as a guide to who is in whose territory North or South.\n\nIt was not the line that separated the USA and CSA because Maryland did not Break off from the Union....Washington D.C. is south of the Mason Dickson, It shows the boundary where people south of it consider themselves southern and north of it consider themselves northern.
