Some northern states had not abolished it yet at the time of the Civil War
Explanation:
Slavery was not officially abolished in most Northern states though it almost disappeared unlike in the South where it was a rooted institution. For instance there were still slaves in New Jersey(very few) and Delaware when the Civil War broke out.
