Quatr.us > America > People > Reconstruction. April 2016 - During the Civil War, in 1863 AD, President Lincoln announced the end of slavery. When the North won the war, in 1865, Congress and the states voted to change the Constitution to make slavery illegal, so all the people who were slaves in the South became free. Some people chose to leave the plantations, now that they were free.
But, to the question, the Northern States didn't really want to end Slavery or the Slave Trade. That's another myth. Slavery abolition wasn't a regional issue. The North simply discovered before the South that it was cheaper to higher immigrants and sold the slaves to the South. Groups of people around the country wanted slavery to end. There were some free people all over the country at the time that wanted to end slavery and the Slave Trade. Let's not forget that the mayor of New York City at the time wanted the city to leave the Union with the South.
