What happened when the states in the north and south disagreed over slavery?
Sadly enough, not many people actually cared about slavery. The Civil war was sparked by a slave owner's ability to cross state lines with his slave. In slave states, a slave was considered property. In free states they were considered second class citizens. Essentially, the disagreement was about who got to profit off people who were previously slaves. At first, the free states simply sent the guy back to his owner. Then, as more abolitionists (people who didn't like the idea of slavery) took power, this was reversed and slaves could escape to the free states. When they did that, the slave states saw it as New York stealing from Mississippi and the free states saw it as simply letting something happen. The federal government became involved and sided with the free states. This coupled with high taxes and other things led to the Civil war.

Is it true that the members of the democratic party were united behind support of slavery in their platform?
Yes, in the 1850's. Slave states in the United States were afraid that progressive elements would ultimately be successful in dismantling slavery if newly admitted states in the young and growing nation were admitted either as "free" states or as states that could choose slavery or not. They were fighting battles nationally to protect the 'balance of power' between the slave states and the non-slave states in congress. The economic value of slavery in the South was significant and that value blinded many to the morality of the issue. There were even churches that supported slavery and people wrote that the Bible supported slavery because slaves are not uncommon in the Bible. In modern times no political party in the United States favors slavery and the nation works against slavery in every instance.

What was it like to be a free aferican American in the north?
Free slaves or after the slaves were freed? Before and after the abolition of slavery, free African Americans really had no means to or skills to support themselves in society. For many freed slaves this meant they continued the same work they once did while in slavery, but got paid meager salaries to do so. A free slave in the North, before slavery was abolished, would also have the added worry of being captured and accused of being a runaway slave, which would result in their return to slavery in a slave state. In fact, many people made a living preying on free slaves, mainly children, in free states to kidnap and sell back into slavery. It would ultimately take decades, after the abolition of slavery, for African Americans to progress past share cropping to find better means of support.
