About how many times more square miles of land did union states have compared to confederate states-?
The Union states had 1.5 million more square miles of land than the Confederate states. The American Civil War was fought between 1861 and 1865.
Why did the northern states not want to count slaves?
The northern states didn't have slavery as the southern states did, and they were smaller. They were afraid that if slaves were counted as part of the population that would give the southern states an advantage when they were represented in Congress. In 1790 35% of the population in VA was slave, so that can make a difference in the balance of power between states.
