First, understand that some Northern States (Maryland) were slave states. Businesses in the North transported slaves to the US, and sold them in the South (slave ships). Businesses in the North invested in the South, including companies that used slaves (coal mining, building railroads) and Northern businesses wanted goods grown in the South by slaves- cotton and tobacco.

After the Missouri Compromise of 1820, most Americans in the 1830s and 1840s agreed that slavery was a contentious issue that needed to be addressed, but opinions were deeply divided along regional lines. Many in the South supported the institution of slavery, viewing it as essential to their agricultural economy, while many in the North began to increasingly oppose it on moral and political grounds.
