because people don't like to change, if you were getting labor for free would you suddenly want to pay for it? The south didn't want slavery to be abolished because they were still dependent on it while the north had begun to not need it at all.

if i recall correctly slaves were considered property, so they wouldn't be eligiable for any freedoms that everyone else enjoyed
