The North most certainly used slaves and there were many plantation owners that moved to the South during the war, but there is a very simple answer to why there were so many less slaves in the North: geography.
The South had good growing weather and great soil. The North (the Northeast especially) is known for having very rocky and poorer soil along with a shorter growth period during the year crops. The South grew tobacco and sugar (among other things) while the North focused more on manufacturing (which employed mostly whites).
