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.
BECAUSE
Northern workers opposed the abolition of slavery because they liked the cotton that was produced in the south. For those that did not oppose, and help free the slaves, many of them were Quakers that felt the light of God was in everybody.
The South opposed Abolition because slavery was the mainstay of the cotton industry, the only big export of the South, representing half the exports of the USA. For this reason, most people inthe North alsoopposed Abolition because the cotton revenues were so important. The Abolitionists were not very numerous, although they included some highly influential people. (Lincoln was not one of them.) After 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was published, many more people became Abolitionists, but they still remained quitea minority.
In the south it was cotton. Millions of bales of cotton were produced.
