What divided the abolitionists?

As with any political group such as the abolitionists in the US before the US Civil War, there was, without a doubt one clear issue of disagreement. Most abolitionists were not violent people. In contrast there were some wealthy and middle class Northerners who favored violence in order to free slaves. Thus, despite the raid on Harper's Ferry by radical John Brown, most abolitionists and most Americans did not favor violence. There were wealthy elite types of abolitionists such as the ones in New England who funded John Brown. Somehow they escaped prosecution as Brown left documentation at the farm he bought with funds supplied by the New England group of abolitionists. The documents named names yet they were untouched by law enforcement.

Why were abolitionists so hated by the North?

Generally speaking abolitionists meant people in favor of abolishing slavery in the United States and in any territories owned by the US. In the Northern US States, the average citizen, may have been against slavery, however, they did not see it as a main issue, ( before the US Civil War ).There was no widespread hatred of abolitionists in the North. In the Southern States where most of the slaves lived, Southerners saw slavery as a way of life. It could be said that for the most part they had a strong disdain for people against slavery.As an aside, however, even abolitionists did not consider slaves to be equal to Whites.
