I'm willing to find out and thank you for your debate. The number so far, I've encountered lynched in New York State is three, though that could be wrong. There was lynchings in Ohio, Pennsylvania, none in Massachusetts, and I'm not saying that the North is some great North moral white father or anything, though it looks like I've given that impression. I think it's a question of degrees. Since 91 percent of blacks were down South, giving up slavery in the North wasn't economically devastating and didn't threaten the way of life it fundamentally did in the South. The North before the Civil War had strong elements of fighting against slavery--not everyone by far but an abolitionist struggle was very vocal. They gave up that moral fight of "justice for all" and slumped into complicity on racism by 1900 though, focusing instead on capital expansion.
