Why did some white northerners did not want slavery to end?

Because they thought it would threaten the cotton revenues, which were more than 50% of US exports. People don't like recognising that most Northerners were not Abolitionists. They were fighting for the unity of the states, and by implication, the cotton revenues. It was only after the Emancipation Proclamation that the war was made to look like a crusade against the evils of slavery - and that was principally to keep Britain and France from granting recognition to the Confederacy. No doubt a few Northerners did take another look at this thing called slavery, and began to feel a glow of moral mission in the great struggle. But the mid-term elections did not seem to indicate this, and it simply wasn't the biggest factor.

Northerners were right to stop supporting reconstruction why or why not?

Northerners had mixed reasons for withdrawing support for Reconstruction, including economic concerns and a growing desire to reunite the nation after the Civil War. Some believed that the federal government had done enough to integrate formerly enslaved people and that states should manage their own affairs. However, this withdrawal allowed systemic racism and oppression to take root in the South, undermining the progress made toward civil rights. Ultimately, the end of Reconstruction left African Americans vulnerable to discrimination and disenfranchisement, suggesting that continued support was necessary for true equality.


How did African Americans participate in Reconstruction?

African Americans were the pawn of the northerners in reconstruction. They were the enemy of the south and maintained hope of normalcy.
