They faced a dilemma of conscience and law.

Explanation:

This is most likely the statement that reflects the feelings of these Northerners. When we think of the North, we often think of abolitionists, and when we think of the South, we think of slave owners and secesionists. However, it is imortnat to remember that throughout this period, there was a lot of people who were in between these two positions. People who did not fall into these categories most likely faced a dilemma of conscience and law.
