The abolitionists in the North wanted an end to slavery.
In order to keep you from false assumptions, let me remind you that the answer is NOT Abraham Lincoln. Contrary to what they teach you in Elementary school, he was not an abolitionist. Lincoln's goal at the start of the US Civil War was to save the union of the North and the South whether that meant freeing slaves or not.
"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."
-Abraham Lincoln
NEW RESPONDENT
Even in the south the most educated and enlightened classes wished an end to slavery but not with coercive methods that would be counterproductive for the economy and public policy. They sustained a gradual and orderly emancipation of the slaves who, after their release, should be helped to play a role in civil society or to emigrate.
