उत्तर
An anti-slavery movement began in the northern states of America. The industrialized northern states did not need slave labour in their industries and, on the whole, did not approve of slavery. The southern states, on the other hand, claimed that they needed slaves for their cotton and sugar plantations. Thus, slaves who provided cheap labour were considered a ‘necessity’ in the predominantly agricultural southern states. The southerners were often needlessly cruel and harsh in their treatment of slaves. This outraged many northerners and the tension between the slave states of the South and the abolition states of the North began to grow.
