If slavery built the USA in general, then how did slavery build Indiana in particular? Indiana was admitted to the union as the 19th state (a free state) in 1816. During the Civil War, over 200 thousand volunteers enlisted in the Union cause. And more than 1/3rd of them would be killed, wounded, or captured. Today, Blacks account for between 8% & 9% of Indiana's population.
