Answer 1

The answer above is incorrect. The majority of Northerners were anti-slavery, and it is revisionist myth that they were indifferent about it.

As evidence I give you the Republican Party. The RP was formed in 1854, primarily in the North, by the fusion of different politcal parties (Free Soilers, Know-Nothings, Free Democrats, Whigs, and more) who banded together to form a new party for one primary reason: stopping the spread of slavery and bring about its elimination as soon as possible. The platform of the new party started with these points, and this remained its #1 goal. That the party went from a mish-mash of anti-slavery remnants from other parties to the majority party and elected a President within six years is strong proof that Northerners were voting against slavery in quickly-growing numbers.

An interesting fact about the Union in the Civil War? How about that at the beginning of the War there was no standard uniform, and many Union troops wore grey. The confusion resulted in many Union troops shooting and killing each other.

Answer 2

The majority of people in the North (on the Union side)
- - both soldiers and civilians - - did NOT feel strongly about the abolition of slavery. They were more interested in preserving the union of the United States.
