What were the views of the North and South about slavery?

Views on slavery n the US were mixed. Using the antebellum years as an indicator, here is a smapling of views:1. A Northerner might not care at all about slavery. For them the issue was a faraway one and as far as they were concerned slavery had existed long before they were even born;2. Another Northern view was that slavery was fine in the South but they did not want the institution of slavery to spread in the western territories;3. Another Northern view was that slavery was an immoral and cruel institution. They however, had no plans to protest its existence; and4. For many Northern people, some were called abolitionists, slavery was evil and unGodly. Their position was that slavery should be abolished in the US as soon as possible.For Southern people, thier views were mixed as well but for various reasons:1. They were slave owners and had invested their money to purchase them. They believed slavery was legal and they refused to give it up;2. Many Southern people owned no slaves. Despite that, for social reasons, they believed that there was no reason to free slaves. It would disturb the economics and social structure in the South; and3. Some Southern people, such as business people in cities did not not care about slavery. They were doing fine as middle class people and saw no reason, however, to change the status quo; and4. Some Southern people were opposed to slavery but felt no pressure to fight against it. They simply went along with it and may have even been annoyed that Northern people were not minding their own business.
