Four Northern states were slave states.

Really? Which slave states were "Northern?"

[stand watie]

DE,KY,MD,MO and (some would argue) NE (as they still had "lifetime indentured servitude" without pay = sounds like slavery to me!) were considered northern states.

care for a "do over"???

my question to YOU is how many northern states had HAD slavery before the WBTS & what disposition of those slaves was made of those slaves, when slavery was made UNlawful in those states??? (i'd bet you don't want to answer that UNcomfortable question.)
