Many Northerners opposed abolitionist views due to economic concerns, as the Southern economy relied heavily on slave labor, which they believed could disrupt trade and industry in the North. Additionally, some Northerners held racist attitudes, fearing that the emancipation of enslaved people would lead to competition for jobs and social integration, which they were not prepared to accept. These factors contributed to a reluctance to fully support the abolitionist movement.

Northern View Of Slavery- A vocal minority of northerners were abolitionists or people who wanted to end slavery. They believed that slavery was morally wrongs. Abolitionists favored a gradual end while others demanded that all slavery was outlawed at once. Not all northerners wanted to end slavery Southern Views Of Slavery Many southerns belied that god intend that black people should provide the labor for white "civilized" society
Frederick Douglass famously met with abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Their meeting marked a significant moment in the abolitionist movement, as Garrison was a prominent advocate for the immediate emancipation of enslaved people and the editor of "The Liberator," an influential anti-slavery newspaper. Although they initially collaborated, their relationship eventually became strained due to differing views on the role of the Constitution in the fight against slavery. Douglass's experiences and perspectives ultimately led him to forge his own path in the abolitionist movement.
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.
They tried to force their views on the South. This did not help because it made those from the South very indignant and less likely to compromise.

The Northerners believed that it was unconstitutional and the Southerners believed that it was better for there way of life

An abolitionist was an individual who held strong antislavery views.
Like most Northerners, Lincoln had been willing to tolerate slavery in its traditional heartlands, but did not like the prospect of an extended slave-empire. When he issued his Emancipation Proclamation, it was for strictly tactical reasons, though no doubt it also caused some Northerners to re-define their views on the slave system.
They were a puppet of the US; and not nearly as disciplined as Northerners.
