slavery was a HORROR for the slaves, the slave-owners AND a PRIME source of PROFIT for the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of northerners who were IN the slave trade from the first day to the last day.

the FACTS are that without the SELF-righteous,SELF-serving, sanctimonious,elitist HYPOCRYTES of the new england area & NY, there would have been NO slavery.

further, there were MANY who were publicly "abolitionists", who were at the same time IN the slave trade. (fwiw, i despise a HYPOCRTYE & a "2-face" worse than even i despise a slaver.)

also, there were just about the SAME percentage of slave-OWNERS (5-6%)in the north as there ever was in dixie. neither side's hands were/are clean.
