The difference being that the Northern states peacefully ended slavery by amending their own constitutions while the south chose to initiate a long and destructive rebellion to protect their institution of slavery.

Of course, no one wants to make mention of those northern states that outlawed slavery with one hand and then allowed it to keep happening with the other.

Oh by the way, Ol' Honest Abe new all about it.
