The 15 slave states in the United States were geographically dispersed across the country, so their sizes varied significantly. However, to provide a general idea, the total land area of the 15 slave states combined was approximately 1.3 million square miles. This figure includes states like Texas, which is the largest state among them with around 268,596 square miles, and smaller states like Delaware, which has an area of about 1,949 square miles.
