few or no enslaved people at all
Yes. That was what the war was about. Preceding the war, southerners had slaves and the northerners didn't think it was right. Therefore, the Civil War happened. Hope this helped! Mckennaj
Confederate soldiers thought that they were fighting for the sovereignty of the Confederacy, and the right of white southerners to make their own choices and run their own lives (and the lives of their black slaves).
They wanted to have their own government and make policies that dealt with newly freed slaves.
The average person didn't own slaves, only the rich owned slaves.actually, by the time of the civil war, the vast majority of soldiers that fought for the confederacy didn't own slaves, but the rich business owners and many politicians did. A very sad time In deed.
It doesn't matter how many slaves the man owned because that probably changed every week! What matters is that he had slaves in the first place and that he agreed with slavery. WHICH IS WRONG!
Fully 3/4 of southerners did not own slaves at the eve of the Civil War.
Mainly for cotton farming from the help of the cotton gin.
For many southerners, the states' rights issue revolved around the right to own slaves.
because you suck
no- slaves were too expensive for most people to own. Oddly though, most of the people who could not afford slaves supported the institution of slavery. They could look forward to moving up in the world someday and owning a slave or two.
Southerners called for states' rights and the preservation of the institution of slavery to protect their right to own slaves. They argued that the federal government should not interfere with the laws of individual states regarding slavery.
no, to own slaves.
Yes, for a certain amount of time.

yes
Briefly put, most Southerners wanted to continue the right to own slaves and most Northerners did not like the practice and did not want to see it extended to new states that came into the union. A fairly large number of Northerners were strongly against slavery and wanted to abolish it throughout the country as soon as possible. Some Southerners had objections to slavery but respected the right of others to keep their slaves.
No. Most Southerners - even the majority of WHITE Southerners - owned no land at all.
