lation OF the present Slave States was ! .301
$40 whites and 657 -, slaves. These S!ates
furnished the Continental army with jS
I2l regular soldiers, and r. 10 militia men
New England at the same period contained
613, 2l5 free whites and 3 $50 slaves In
spite of her numerical inferiority TO the
South, she furnished for the war lis $3.50
regulars and i6,0is militla-men.
The difference furnished to the popular
cause by these respective sections WAS due
partly 10 a want OF patriotism in the South
and partly to the imperative necessity Of keep
ing large proportion of the white popula
