Of the original 13 states, 6 (Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia) were slave states and 7 (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania) were free states.

I hope this is correct and if it is I hope it helps. I hope you have a great day and remember it doesn't matter what other people say or think about you, you are still and always will be strong, smart, and an amazing person. Have a wonderful day.
I am happy to help with anything. ;

Of the original 13 states, 6 were slave states (Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia) and 7 were free states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania). The existence of slavery significantly influenced the economics and societies of the slave states, while many free states began taking steps to abolish this institution. This division ultimately contributed to significant historical conflicts in the United States.
