The slave states were: Delaware Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama

  1. You missed a state. California came into the Union as a free state in 1850. That means 32 Senators from free states and 30 from slave states. Due to having a huge population advantage (Calif, Pa, NY), the free states would have far more Representatives then slave states.
