Do you think the United States could have survived as a country that had both slave states and free states? Why or why not?

Answer:

There were 11 free states and 11 slave states. This is significant because there was an equal number of free and slave states. This balance of states was important, as one extra state — slave or free — would tip the balance of power in the U.S. government.
