Northern states generally sought to limit or abolish slavery, reflecting their growing abolitionist sentiments and economic interests that did not rely on slave labor. Many favored gradual emancipation and the promotion of free labor as a more effective economic model. The desire to prevent the expansion of slavery into new territories and states was also a significant concern, as it would maintain a balance of power in Congress between free and slave states.
