What was the position of notherners on slavery during the 1850s?
This question is hard to answer with just one viewpoint. In fact, in the early 1850's the idea of slavery was mixed among Northerners. For example, the clergy were sometimes in favor of slavery, as seen in "South Side view of Slavery" by Rev. Nehemiah Adams, but this was not always the case. When Harriet Beecher Stowe's book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published in 1852, many northerners were outraged by the atrocities slave families had to go through. She is said to have described her book as actual events and occurrences that she had witnessed and put together in a "mosaic," as an artist would do. Her book opened the eyes of many northerners and westerners who had never experienced such things. With all this in mind, however, it cannot be said that all northerners and for that matter all southerners shared the same viewpoints. While the abolitionists, northerners who felt slavery was immoral, screamed louder than any other northerners, their ideas were not the only ones. Other northerners were afraid that such cheap labor would keep their prices uncompetitive in the market place. Therefore, it can be said that both economic and moral reasons dictated the views of the northerners in the 1850's. For the most part, however, the north did not find a need to have slaves because their population had increased over time and the labor force was extensive. While the north saw an increase in population, the south remained nearly stagnate.
Northern attempts to attack slavery was limited by?
A) the apathy of most northerners regarding the question B) the presence of more important issues before congress C) the absence of strong northern congressional leadership D) the amount of money slave industries contributed to the national economy E) the absence of federal authority to regulate slavery I don't believe that "A" is the answer because Northerners were not apathetic at all about slavery. I am unsure of the answer but I am leaning towards "E" E is the correct answer
How did the northern feel about slavery after harriet stowe?

The novel galvanized anti-slavery sentiment, leading to heightened abolitionist activism and greater public opposition to the institution. While not all Northerners were abolitionists, Stowe's work significantly influenced public opinion, contributing to the growing sectional divide between the North and South. Overall, her portrayal of the moral and human costs of slavery stirred empathy and outrage among many in the North.
