Before the Civil War, New Jersey was divided due to varying economic interests, social structures, and political affiliations. The northern part of the state leaned more towards industrialization and had a growing anti-slavery sentiment, while the southern region was more agrarian and had stronger ties to slaveholding states. Additionally, the presence of both abolitionist and pro-slavery factions created significant tension within communities. This division was further exacerbated by national issues such as states' rights and the expansion of slavery into new territories.
