Why did the north think slavery was bad?

Which side were fighting for slavery the north or the south?
The south was the slaveholding section, though there were still a few slaves in the north. Slavery had once been legal in all the states. But the south was not fighting FOR slavery. Most Confederate soldiers did not own slaves. Slaves were expensive. Think about it - would you go fight, and fight hard, for years, just so some rich man could keep his slaves? And the north was not fighting against slavery, at least not at first. The north was fighting to "preserve the Union", which the southern states wanted out of. The southerners were fighting for their independence. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation came after a year and a half of war, and changed the war into one which we look back on today as "for" or "against" slavery.

Why was south against north?
The North was opposed to Southern slavery, as opposed to Northern slavery and wage-slavery. The South was against the North because if they were going to be treated as a foreign land, they might as well have the sovereignty of one. When the North put a tariff on Southern goods, as though the South were another country, the South decided to just go with it. I don't think the South had that much against the North, except that they were "down here"!
