“all except the southron slaveocracy “
There you go with your half truths and lies, again. The North also had slavery at the time. The North was built using slavery, and even their hero, Lincoln, didn’t want to end salvery or even allow freed slaves into his home State of Illinois. So, your hatred of the South is simply stupid, not ignorance because you know the truth but you still just want to bash the South. How childish.
Northern abolition
Between 1777 and 1804, anti-slavery laws or constitutions were passed in every state north of the Ohio River and the Mason-Dixon Line. By 1810, 75 percent of all blacks in the North were free. By 1840, virtually all blacks in the North were free.[30] Vermonts 1777 constitution made no allowance for slavery. In Massachusetts, slavery was successfully challenged in court in 1783 in a freedom suit by Quock Walker as being in contradiction to the state’s new constitution of 1780 providing for equality of men. Free blacks were subject to racial segregation in the North and it took decades for some states to extend the franchise to them.[31]
However most northern states passed legislation for gradual abolition. As a result of this gradualist approach New York did not free its last slaves until 1829, Rhode Island had 5 slaves still listed in the 1840 census, Pennsylvania’s last slaves were freed in 1847, Connecticut did not completely abolish slavery until 1848, and slavery was not completely lifted in New Hampshire and New Jersey until the nationwide emancipation in 1865[32]
