The population of the Northern States was about 22 million while the South had a only about nine million persons. That doesn't say it all, because there were almost 3.5 million slaves included in the South's population count which were a liability. The slave population required guarding and supervision. They were unavailable as troops, because if they were ever given access to arms a slave revolt was certain.

Approximately 22 million people lived in the North during the Civil War period. This region included states that remained part of the Union and did not secede to join the Confederacy. The North had a larger population compared to the South, which was a key advantage in terms of manpower for the Union army.

The North had a population of about 20 million and the South about 9 million.

Actually, slaves made up around 43% of the Southern population. The slave population among "border states" was not significant. Delaware as example had less than 1,000.
