Slavery In The Northern Setting

Slavery is notorious for being centered in the south but little do most people know is that slavery was a major aspect of the northern way of life. Slavery was originally everywhere but as the nation advanced and views varied the north attempted to eradicate the institution. Even though the north attempted to hide their involvement in the evils of slavery they still were involved. the north was the industry and the supplies and goods came from the plantations to grow on the land in the south. The north needed the goods in order to create business so even if they denied slavery, they had a direct involvement through economics. Abolitionist made it hard for slavery to exist peacefully. The north made itself safe for slaves so the north became a beacon of salvation to runaway slaves who dreamed of freeing the opression they were entagled in and escaping to the north but fugitive slave laws made this dream harder than anticipated.
