Slavery is morally reprehensible.

[NEW RESPONDENT]

The North was becoming much more industrialised, and factory-managers couldn't use massed ranks of unskilled labourers. They wanted mobile, skilled people, including new arrivals from Europe.

Most Northerners were against slavery on moral and religious grounds. Unlike the radical abolitionist, however, Northerners were not rabid about abolishing it in the South. They did, however, believe that an expansion of slavery into the US western territories would be an error.In the context of the times, Most Northerners were born when slavery had all but abolished in the North. The ordinary Southern citizen was born into a slave society. These factors played a role in the sectional rift between the North and the South.
