How were the markets less free in the south? From what I know from history the difference was that south was more agriculture focused and this meant they had different interest then the north , I am not from US so I did not studied all the details of US history.

Even if say free market solved the issue, is it reasonable to wait centuries for the free markets to solve things then dare to vote some laws ?

Well the labor market was certainly less free, for one :)

It's worth knowing that the south was once considerably richer than the north, but industrialisation changed things in the 19th C, by the end of which the north was vastly richer (per capita), richer than anywhere had ever been before. In this sense free capitalism did vastly outcompete an unfree economy.

IMO not free market solved the problem.
