The North did not have as much need for slaves as the South due to its economy being more industrialized and less reliant on agriculture. The North's economy was based on manufacturing, trade, and commerce, which required a different labor force than the plantation-based agriculture of the South. Additionally, the North had a larger population of European immigrants who provided a source of cheap labor for the factories and industries. The North also had a more diverse economy with varied industries, whereas the South's economy was largely dependent on cotton and other cash crops that required a large enslaved workforce.
