Why didn't the north have any need for slaves?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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).
