the reason the northern states allowed slave trade to continue was so they could have laws they wanted passed to be agreed with by the southern states. within doing this, there was a compromise and the northern states agreed to it. so, the slaves we left as property to the plantation owners and northern states didn't have to return run away slaves to their owners.
