Most southern politicians, plantation owners and voters (e.g. white males) viewed the Abolitionists with scorn, anger, and even hate. They viewed the Abolitionist cause as favoring the north and as counter to the southern "way of life", with its agrarian economy and need for inexpensive labor in the fields.

There also existed a stronger, more prevailing view, in the South, that people of African descent were somehow inferior in intellect and somehow incapable of meaningful participation in a democratic society. This racist, bigoted view has gradually receded since the Civil War but, unfortunately, persists in far too many people to this day.
