Northerners viewed abolitionism as a dangerous threat to the existing social system. Many in the North also had no desire to see the South's economy crumble. If this were to happen they would lose huge sums of money that Southern planters owed to Northern banks.

How did northerners react to abolitionism?

Northerners had mixed reactions to abolitionism. Many supported the movement, viewing slavery as a moral atrocity that needed to be eradicated, and they participated in abolitionist societies, rallies, and publications. However, some opposed abolitionism out of fear it would disrupt the social order or lead to racial integration, while others were indifferent, prioritizing economic interests or regional stability over the plight of enslaved people. This division contributed to tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War.
