The North were the people that believed that slavery should be abolished. They did more manufacturing than agriculture so they didn't need the hard labor. The Nation broke up in 1860, and the north became the Union. The north included the following states: California, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Maine, Illnois, Indiana, Ohio, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, New Hampshire, Mass., Conn., New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, with 7 of the 13 original states.

The Civil War Trust has also developed the Civil War Discovery Trail which links important Civil War sites throughout the country. Each stop along the Trail reveals to visitors the exciting drama of the war while at the same time bringing to life the experiences of the people who participated in the epic struggle that forever changed the United States. The Civil War Trust's Official Guide to the Civil War Discovery Trail is a Frommer's Guide published for us by Macmillan Travel to bring our Trail sites to you. More on the Trail and the Guide.
The Civil War Explorer and the Discovery Trail are just two of the many projects that the Civil War Trust has developed as part of our continuing mission to preserve and promote the history of the War. Despite the Trust's achievements, serious challenges remain. The nation's Civil War battlefields continue to be demolished and paved over at an alarming rate! Because of this, it is more important than ever that the Civil War Trust continue the work of preserving our nation's heritage. More on how you can help!
