2. Why did abolitionists consider slavery to be wrong? Slavery was wrong because they considered all men to be created equal, and it should be done immediately because it would be morally wrong if it took time to do it. 3. Are agitation and denunciation an effective way of opposing a social evil or do such methods simply breed resistance? They will obviously create resistance because not everyone will agree to what the government has done, but it will ultimately solve a problem, as it did with slavery.
