Question

Explain two reasons why some in the North began to see slavery as immoral.

Answer 1

1 By the time the Civil War started, slavery in the South was a dying institution.
2 It extended farther than that though. The North desired the industrialization of America, whereas the South was rooted firmly in their agriculture-based lifestyle. Set in their “peculiar” ways, the South was proving to be a nuisance and embarrassment to north.
