Yes, people have a deep and abiding hatred for the possibility of free labor undermining their wages and income.
Not defending slavery.
First your notion that slavery was “free labor” is false. The cost to owning and maintaining slaves did not equate to “free labor”. Slave owners had to pay for the slave, build hoousing and facilities for the slave which required resources that must be bought and paid for, and on and on. I always get a kick out of the argument that the North thought that slavery was free labor and that is why the North hated the Southerners who owned slaves. That argument is factually wrong and will be wrong everytime it is brought up. The cost to purchase and own slaves was treated like any other business expense and why only individuals with money could own them.
Oh and by the way you are also considered an asset in whatever company you work. You are considered a human resource asset.
Free states hated slavery because they felt it was against God’s will in the Bible when the Egyptians enslaved the Hebrews,
Your argument is predicated on “free labor” which has been shown to be false. So your argument crumbles. Ain’t nothing in this world “free” including freedom. If you don’t believe me ask those who paid for the cost of freedom with their blood and their lives. The cost of freedom shall be paid with the blood of men who wish to see themselves a free people.
Anything else you state is discredited because you are just spouting talking points. Once you understand that slavery was not free labor then you will understand what a bunch of hogwash the majority of your arguments are.
So you are saying that the average Northerner had seriously considered the costs of buying the slaves, the costs of housing the slaves and the facilities to provide resources for the slaves to do their jobs?
I really don't think they pondered it all that much. It was far more probable that they didn't consider the difficulties and costs of being a slave owner at all. I simply don't see them saying "well, it costs a lot to own and employ a slave, so we won't think of it as "free labor."
No, I think most northerners really did think of it as "free labor."
The cost to purchase and own slaves was treated like any other business expense and why only individuals with money could own them.
Subtleties that would be lost on anyone not directly concerned with running slavery operations.
Free states hated slavery because they felt it was against God’s will in the Bible when the Egyptians enslaved the Hebrews,
For a tiny little cult like section of the population. The vast majority of the "free states" hated blacks, hated "free" labor, and hated rich slave owners. If the moral aspect was dominant, you wouldn't have seen the horrible "black codes" in the northern states where black people were treated as less than human.
Your argument is predicated on “free labor” which has been shown to be false.
Stop. Just stop with your childish hair splitting. So far as the vast majority of people in the north were concerned, it was "free labor." They didn't give a sh*t about the subtleties of purchase costs and operating costs. So long as those costs were borne by the profit from slavery, the labor was effectively free.
As Lincoln himself said:
"You will find that all the arguments in favor of king-craft were of this class; they always bestrode the necks of the people, not that they wanted to do it, but because the people were better off for being ridden. That is their argument, and this argument of the Judge is the same old serpent that says you work and I eat, you toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it.
So your argument crumbles.
You "deem" it so, in the same manner Nancy Pelosi thinks she can warp reality through a declaration.
Once you understand that slavery was not free labor then you will understand what a bunch of hogwash the majority of your arguments are.
Your assertion is logically flawed, and I am not impressed by your attempt to present yourself as "knowledgeable" on the subject. You are just another loudmouth who doesn't like having his snout shoved into a pile of ugly truth.
