Actually there WAS slavery in the New England colonies - at least at first.
Slavery became less useful in the New England states as it became more industrialized. Most slaves were used in unskilled labor - those who acquired significant skills found it much easier to escape slavery and set themselves up with income from their skilled labor elsewhere. Lack of demand for unskilled labor made it easier for abolitionists to get the majority to accept that slavery was reprehensible and abolish it in New England much earlier than in states with more agrarian economies and consequently more need for lots of cheap unskilled labor - which slavery provided.
