because they didn't think it was right
After the civil War the 13th amendment (Emancipation Proclamation) was made and abolished slavery. The south had to reconstruct their economy, as the slaves were a major part of the South's economy at the time. Do not think that the North won and said "Too Bad!", the North helped in the reconstruction as well.
Not all of the north thought slavery was bad and the people who were against slavery were in the north because the farms in the south needed them to tend fields and harvest cotton. Then if a slave escaped and became a northern citizen, they would obviously be against slavery.
Four of the "Northern" states permitted slavery. It was not common in the North, due to an absence of large farming operations. The South was mainly agriculture, North manufacturing- which did not use slaves that often.
Because maybe they thought that slavery was wrong and every one should have equal rights no matter the color of there skin.
