How did the whites react to slavery?

There was not a single 'white' response to slavery. Many in the north were influenced by Quaker beliefs and were profoundly anti-slavery. Others, north and south, believed slavery to be an abomination which could only do harm to the country. Another group simply did not care; they did not own slaves but had their own problems to worry about. Many profited from slavery - newspapers took ads for slave sales and escaped slaves, farm owners liked cheap labor for planting and picking, auctioneers and supervisors (slavedrivers) made their money off the slave trade, bankers financed slave purchases just as cars are financed today. A few northerners and many southerners feared that if slaves were released they would take away jobs in manufacturing, shipping, and trades. There were many, many different white reactions to slavery.
