After the Revolution, the practice of enslaving African Americans was___?

A. eliminated in the North ...

B. restricted in the North and the South ...

C. encouraged in the North ...

D. abolished in the South.

The correct answer is A) Eliminated in the North.

One of the biggest reasons why slavery became nonexistent in the North was because it was not a profitable institution. The Northern states have a tough climate, which only allows for a short growing season. Due to the climate, Northerners focused their attention on other means of making money. This includes industry and trading. This is why slavery becomes unpopular in the North after the American Revolution.
