Why did many northerners want to keep slavery in the south?

Answer made assuming the above question means: Why did the Union not join the confederacy?The answer is somewhat simple: The union wished to abolish slavery. This caused multiple states start to take sides, and as you can see, the southern states joined the confederacy as they ran large plantations and needed the African slaves to run them. The northern states did not have many slaves due to a lack of need because their food supply/money was made mostly on family run farms.

How did the Civil War change from a limited war to preserve the union to a war to abolish slavery?

It changed from a limited war that preserved the union, to a war that abolished slavery for a few reasons. 1. The Trent Affair made Europe mad, and they were going to help the South in the war. Europe "needed" the souths cotton. So Lincoln made a formal appology to Europe saying that they intended to end slavery. This made Europe happy because they despised slavery. 2. This also kept Europe out of the war. Which is good because the south already had the upper hand with General Lee as their commander. If the south had Europes help, the north wouldn't have won.
