What was the north's view on Dred Scott Decision?

The Abolitionist lobby was outraged, because it appeared to make slavery legal in every state of the Union. Most other Northerners were not so concerned about slavery itself, only that the various Compromises that they had worked so hard on were all declared void, and that the argument would be re-opened.


What did the North believe about slavery?

The north did not like slavery. Well you see, the north thought it would slow down the process of industrialization. John Brown, a strong abolitionist, even led a revolt with former slaves into Harpers ferry, Virginia. He stole weapons there to supply his men and they attempted to rescue slaves at harpers ferry. The operation failed and John Brown was hanged. This act was not uncommon for a northerner. These were the kinds of acts an anti-slavery person would do. ---The point is that northerners hated slaver so much that they would risk their lives to abolish it---.

Did the Confederacy secede from the union for slavery?

No. At the beginning, Lincoln was not fighting an Abolitionist war. He had been elected on a ticket of no new slave-states, so the South was facing the prospect of being permanently outvoted in Congress. That is why they seceded, believing that the cotton revenues would be enough to live on. Only after January 1863 did it become an Abolitionist war, with the Emancipation Proclamation.
