slaves, because some slaveholders would feed, cloth, and give them a drink most of the time
William Grayson
Because the North was more industrial, and slavery did not fit the factory system. Industrial bosses wanted free skilled labour. They could not use resident slaves.

Yes, slaves could work as freedmen in the north. Still, there were difficulties if their southern owner had put a bounty on them and they could be returned to slavery if found. There were limitations to their rights as they were black even in the north.
The North had abolished slavery, because it did not fit the industrial system. In the Civil War, four slave-states stayed loyal to the Union, and were counted as 'the North'.
The North was primarily industrial, and didn't require slaves. The South was agricultural and required cheap labor to remain competitive.
The north wanted to eliminate slavery not for the beauty of the eyes of slaves but because the north was an industrial place, not like the agricultural south. The north wanted just to protect the union .
the industrial revolution provided a surplus of jobs for immigrants entering the country, along with later on in the north, jobs for African American slaves who escaped.
had a high increase of whites in the labor force, which worsened the conditions for slaves
Southerners justified slavery by saying that slaves were treated better and had better working conditions than if the slaves were free and working in the North. Because of this slavery was considered to be good and necessary.
The north did not abandon free slaves. Usually the slaves lived in peace in the North.
South. Slaves were one of the main workers in their industry.
