Question

what generalization can you make about the abolition of slavery in the north?

Answer 1

generalization? Lord, thousands could be made.

1) Yankees were two faced on the issue, they renamed slavery to labor markets, especially in New England. Working poor in New England suffered greatly under labor laws that oppressed them.
2) Abolition varied in meaning where in the "North" one lived. Was Kentucky "North"?
3) Abolition and the 3/5 rule they held sacrosanct hardly can be reconciled.

Want others? You need to answer this in the view of the bias your text presented, not mine. What? your text is biased? You bet. Give them the answer they present, but in the end, do your own analysis and thinking.

Answer 2

Mr. Pursley is right. The question presents a biased point of view. Abolitionists varied all over the political and moral map, from the John Browns to preachers with moral messages to hypocrites, as Mr. Pursley points out, who were all into wage-slaves as long as the myth of free will was maintained. Northerners were all for freeing the slaves, but did not want to live near free blacks, and were often quite willing to enforce the fugitive slave laws all at once. It's very hard to make generalizations.

Answer 3
