There were slaves in the north, but there were very few and most of them were required to get a trade skill to work as a member society. However, since the south had large plantations, large numbers of slaves were needed and depended on.

∙ 10y agoCertainly before the US Civil War "Northerners" owned slaves. The embarrassing issue, however, that during the Civil War, Union loyal & considered "Northern US areas", continued to own slaves. The famous 2- part Emancipation Declaration was meant for the rebellious Confederate States and not for slaves in, as example, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware & even Washington DC itself.
Looking back, I have yet to see any protests about slavery being illegal in the Federal Capital. In fact noted scholar, and anti slavery abolitionist, the Afro-American, Frederick Douglas who attended Lincoln's 2nd inaugural ball., in Wash. DC, of course, seemed not to be concerned ( I am sure he was though ) about slavery in the capital.

Why didn't the north have any need for slaves?
The North most certainly used slaves and there were many plantation owners that moved to the South during the war, but there is a very simple answer to why there were so many less slaves in the North: geography. The South had good growing weather and great soil. The North (the Northeast especially) is known for having very rocky and poorer soil along with a shorter growth period during the year crops. The South grew tobacco and sugar (among other things) while the North focused more on manufacturing (which employed mostly whites).
In the US Civil War what side did the slaves fight for?
Slaves fought for both sides, if they were free they would fight for the North to help free others. If they were slaves they would be forced to go to help the South win.
