The north did not like the south because of their views on slavery. The civil war was fought over whether slavery was right, the south looked at slavery as a necessary thing, but the north viewed it inhumane.
If one studies their history, it shows that most slaves originally were brought here through northern ports by northern slave traders, then sold to southern plantation owners.
So in fact, the North's attitude smacked of relevant hypocrisy.

Some wanted to punish the South for its secession. There were even some Northerners, especially some who profited from the slave trade in shipping, and in textiles, who sympathized with the South.
