NOTESSlavery and the North Slavery and the South

Few people had slaves and slavery ended by 1860.

Slavery was an integral part of life with over 1 million

enslaved African Americans.

Early in the 1800s, some northerners began to work for the abolition of slavery.

Many believed God intended blacks to provide labor
