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.
