Slavery was outlawed in the United States by the 13th Amendment, so anyone involved in its passage helped forbid slavery (including the Houses of Congress and the State Legislatures).
no the southern states approved of slavery and the northern states dissapproved of slavery
Yes, it did, and the majority of the conflict involved the north versus the south. But it should also be noted that back then, many states had slaves, and not just in the south. A number of mid-western states had decided to support slavery-- a good example was Missouri. And even states that were not officially slave states had pockets of slavery-- Illinois is a good example of this. There was considerable prejudice against blacks throughout Illinois, and as a result, no law was passed to officially outlaw slavery until 1848.
The South advocated Slavery and States Rights.
Not just America was involved in slavery. There was England, America, and, obviously Africa. They traded slaves and goods in what is called the Triangle Trade. (If you don't know what that is, Google it.) They were all involved in slavery for money and goods to be imported to their country.
