Abolitionists opposed how cotton was produced in the South primarily because it was reliant on the institution of slavery. They believed that enslaving individuals for labor was morally wrong and inhumane. The brutal conditions and exploitation of enslaved people in cotton production highlighted the ethical and human rights violations inherent in the system, fueling the abolitionist movement's demand for an end to slavery. Additionally, the economic benefits derived from cotton production were seen as unjustly profiting from human suffering.
