Best Answer

Northern slavery began to end during the American Revolutionary War. British generals liberated slaves everywhere they fought, provided the slaves would agree to fight with them. This so diminished the slaves in the North, that many northern colonies enacted legislation, offering freedom if slaves fought on the colonists' side. A generation following the Revolutionary War, northern slavery ended for the most part based on fears of a rising black population, and economic reality.
