University of North Carolina Wilmington Attacking Slavery Discussion

 

I’m stuck on a History question and need an explanation.

Attacking Slavery

By 1860, Northerners were split on slavery. Some Northerners supported slavery. Who were these Northern supporters and why? But many, Northerners were also beginning to have problems with slavery and the South’s insistence on maintaining and expanding slavery. What was causing this in the North? What issues or aspects of slavery were many Northerners beginning to protest or dislike? Provide me with several issues or events where we can see Northerners beginning to turn on slavery?
