How was the life in north different from the south?

In the North prejudice and racism werent practiced as much as in the South. The North integrated schools and didnt segregate races. Although some whites' personalities havent changed about blacks during the civil war, their policies of racism werent as harsh as the south.

The South enacted the Jim Crow Laws. These were a set of laws that segregated blacks and whites. They had colored watering ftns, colored schools, and seperated everything, and gave the colored people bad quality. If a man even looked at a white person the wrong way they could be killed. (See Emmet Till Case) Southerners basically hated blacks. So they treated them bad.

The North was more open to black and whites together and were nicer than the south.
