Abolitionists opposed cotton production in the South primarily because it relied on the brutal system of slavery, which dehumanized and exploited enslaved individuals. They viewed the inhumane conditions and harsh treatment that enslaved people endured as morally reprehensible. Additionally, the cotton economy perpetuated racial inequality and violence, which abolitionists sought to eradicate in their fight for human rights and social justice. Overall, the abolitionist movement aimed to dismantle the economic foundations that supported slavery and promote freedom and equality for all.
