fwiw, there were THOUSANDS of northerners, who were up to their ears IN "the slave trade" right up to the last day that it was lawful in the USA.(in point of fact, the PERCENTAGE of northern & southern slavers was about the SAME. = about 6 percent of the populus.)

what was different about northern & southern slavers was the SELF-righteous HYPOCRASY of the northern slavers.

also, pardon me, but you dodged the question that i asked in #791. (hint: MANY of the northern elite's fortunes were based upon buying, selling, shipping,renting, leasing & EXPORTING slaves to other countries AFTER slavery was outlawed in the USA.= it was a classic case of, "Do as i say, not as i DO".)

DAMNyankee ELITISTS have always been sanctimonious HYPOCRITES. it is their NATURE.

Thousands? Maybe if you include everyone who sold food and goods to plantations and insured slaves and provided smilar services. But, it wasn't Northern states that continued legal slavery, as all of the Northern states had banned slavery before the Civil War. The only reason a handful of unscrupulous Northerners could make money in the slave trade is because Southerners kept slavery legal in their states.

.(in point of fact, the PERCENTAGE of northern & southern slavers was about the SAME. = about 6 percent of the populus.)

Nonsense. Are you really claiming that about 1.3 million people in the North owned slaves?

Even if that is the case (which it isn't), the only reason Northerners could make money off of the slave trade was because Southerners continued to keep it legal.
