While most Northeners were not in favor of slavery, however, by abolishing it gave them cause for concern. They feared racial strife, Consitutional issues, fears that thousands of freed slaves would come streaming into Northern States, that freed slaves would be cheap labor for Northern industries and cause white unemployment and just plain racism.
