Here are some facts which might interest you:

1. In the census of 1790, 10% of US blacks lived in Northern states (1/3 freed), 90% in the South (5% freed).

2. The 1860 census showed roughly ten times growth, now 5% of blacks lived in the North (all freed), 95% in the South (5% freed).

Since the 1860 numbers in all categories show roughly ten-times growth, they cannot by themselves suggest Northern slaves sold South.
