Question

True or false question

Answer 1

Hey there! :D

I would say this is true. Most of the population in the US was in the North. In the Industrial factories, businesses, etc. Most of the population did not own slaves. In the South, several were owned; if you compare that to the mass majority of people, 

Studies suggest that 3/4 of people in the South owned slaves, with that 88% owned 20 or fewer. The south isn't all the states. Moreland was spread out, and fewer people lived in the south. 

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

That statement is true.

Slavery at pre-civil war was only an acceptable practice in southern states. From those southern states, only the people who are rich enough to own their own plantation could buy a slave. So, the number of people who owned slave probably less than 10% of total population.
