Some of the arguments that pro slavery southerners used were that abolitionists only wanted to free enslaved workers so that they could work in northern factories, where they would get paid low wages, would have to pay for food and shelter, and where it was dangerous.

What were the attitudes of the north and south regarding slavery and race relations and their responses to abolition?

Northern states had a completely different attitude towards slavery and race equality. Abolition campaign was very strong in the north and had the support of political and religious leaders. North had become an industrialized and urbanized region with little dependence on agriculture, where slaves were largely utilized. Slavery was viewed negatively in north and by 1840 almost the entire African American populace in north was free. In a total contrast, southern states' economy depended on plantation agriculture where slavery was a vital part of society. The attitude of southerners was pro slavery and after the election victory of Abraham Lincoln, slave states decided to secede from the union as they feared a end of slavery under pro-abolition Lincoln.

How did race relations in the south change after reconstruction and what was the African-American response?

After Reconstruction ended in the 1870s or later, race-relations in the South changed in various ways in different states and according to different factors within each. It is generally true, however, that Southern states gradually became politically dominated by Whites and socially segregated in many particular ways, with the segregation increasing as the decades passed. African-American responses varied considerably: some fled the South, some sought to ingratiate themselves to the increasingly dominant Whites, some passively or otherwise endured it, others continued to work against it in subtle or (more rarely) direct ways.
