By 1861, it is clear that most people in the Northern non slave US States believe that slavery is immoral. By the same year many not most, of the people in the Southern States believe that slavery is not immoral.
In the period known as the Antebellum Period (approx. 1790-1860), slavery rarely occurred in Northern states because it was illegal there. These states started to ban slavery just after the passing of the Constitution and the end of the Revolutionary war, starting with Vermont in 1777. Besides the ethical reasons for ending slavery, it was also no longer necessary in the North because the Northern economy was rather industrial as opposed to the largely agricultural Southern economy which relied on slave power to make it profitable for slave owners.
The root cause of the US Civil War was the strong desire of the southern states to maintain slavery in the face of increasing northern opposition to slavery and the growth of the northern population that seemed certain to eventually control the Federal Government and abolish slavery.
Slavery was first made illegal in the Northern states of the United States. The state of Vermont was the first to abolish slavery in its constitution in 1777, followed by Pennsylvania in 1780. By the early 1800s, Northern states had all gradually abolished slavery.
Slavery is illegal in the US because of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1865. This amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. Slavery is considered a violation of human rights and dignity.
