That most Northerners were not fervently anti-slavery.
Along with most Americans, he felt strongly that secession was illegal and treasonous, and that a US Army garrison on an island in Charleston harbour deserved to be defended by force.
Most Northerners beliefs were for a good cause, to end slavery and unite the country.
Most Northerners were not Abolitionists, and there was no particular name for them. As the war went on, the anti-war Democrats were called Copperheads. These were pro-slavery.

no most of the southerners did not believe secession was illegal
An issue best left to the states. (APEX)
The most prominent person in the North who believed that secession was unconstitutional was President Lincoln. He was in step with many other Northerners.As an aside, the Confederate constitution sought to clarify this issue for its own states. Confederate states were not legally allowed to secede form the Confederacy as a clause within their constitution forbid secession.
Because most of population was against the secession.
Briefly put, most Southerners wanted to continue the right to own slaves and most Northerners did not like the practice and did not want to see it extended to new states that came into the union. A fairly large number of Northerners were strongly against slavery and wanted to abolish it throughout the country as soon as possible. Some Southerners had objections to slavery but respected the right of others to keep their slaves.
not everyone agreed on it and others wanted it others didnt and they got judged cuz of their thoughts
It was the Wilmot Proviso that declared that there should be no slavery in the new states. This gained support in Congress, and by 1860 most Northerners agreed with it, while tolerating slavery in its traditional heartlands. That was how Lincoln got elected.
Northerners were most pleased that California was admitted as a free state. The south was pleased that the fugitive slave act REQUIRED assistance in capturing runaway slaves or face imprisonment.

Reactions to secession varied widely among different groups. Many in the Southern states supported it, viewing it as a rightful assertion of their autonomy and a defense of their way of life, particularly regarding slavery. Conversely, many in the Northern states and some in the border states opposed secession, seeing it as a threat to the Union and advocating for its preservation. Overall, the issue deepened national divides and set the stage for the Civil War.
Northerners were eager to go to war during the Civil War primarily to preserve the Union and prevent the secession of Southern states. Many viewed the conflict as a moral imperative to end slavery and uphold democratic ideals. Additionally, economic interests and the desire for national unity motivated many citizens to support the war effort. The sense of nationalism and the belief in the righteousness of their cause further fueled their eagerness to fight.
