Distribution of Salvery, 1790-1860, in Continential America


Slavery changes over time. Look at the two maps to the left. Notice how the "center" of slavery shifts with the expanding population of the United States to the south and west. This distribution of "cash" crops becomes one of the many reasons the regions of the North and South come to differ in how they view the Republic.
