No it didn’t because there were not two sides. Slavery was legal in the USA. Some states did not permit buying and selling within their borders, but they weren’t permitted to take slaves away from those who had them. Slaves visiting those states were not free.

they weren’t permitted to take slaves away from those who had them.
And who had the power to grant or deny that permission?
