Northern workers opposed the abolition of slavery because they liked the cotton that was produced in the south. For those that did not oppose, and help free the slaves, many of them were Quakers that felt the light of God was in everybody.
I don't know whether they formally opposed Abolition. But it is true that most Northerners were not greatly offended by the institution of slavery, and they certainly didn't leap into uniform to free Southern slaves. Even the Emancipation Proclamation did not convert many to the Abolitionist cause. Slavery was killed by the war itself - from when Lincoln ordered the troops to rob the enemy of his property, including slaves. Unless the Confederates were to win the war, these (ex) slaves could never be returned to their (ex) owners.
The South opposed Abolition because slavery was the mainstay of the cotton industry, the only big export of the South, representing half the exports of the USA. For this reason, most people inthe North alsoopposed Abolition because the cotton revenues were so important. The Abolitionists were not very numerous, although they included some highly influential people. (Lincoln was not one of them.) After 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was published, many more people became Abolitionists, but they still remained quitea minority.

Yes, Northern industrial tools are still in demand, simply because many workers enjoy working with them and enjoys the quality of these tools. Many workers are always in search of Northern industrial tools.
The workers of the northern factories had to work for many hours and had little rest.
Southern slaves produced the cotton, and workers at Northern mills (who were paid not much more than slaves) turned it into clothing, bedding, and other items. This was the main reason many Northerners were against abolition: the loss of slave labor would affect not just the South's plantation society, but the North's industrial economy as well.
