Southerners hated abolitionists because they would speak out against slavery. If there was no slaves than no one would work the fields for the rich men.
The abolitionists were members of the growing band of reformers who worked to abolish, or end, slavery.
abolitionists were mostly from the northern states because in the south slaves were used to work but in the north they had free labor.
It greatly angered the Abolitionists - remembering that most Northerners were not Abolitionists by any means.
In the years leading up to (and also including) the American Civil War, opponents of the Southern way of life were not completely of one mind. Those who belonged to the "anti-slavery" camp generally opposed slavery but, often if not always, were content to allow it to remain in the South. Those who were "abolitionists" were much more zealous: they sought to eradicate slavery in all of its forms, even if that meant revolutionizing (or even destroying) Southern life in its antebellum form. The abolitionists demanded an immediate end to slavery regardless of the consequences. People such as Lincoln believed a gradual end to slavery, with compensation to the slave owners was a good idea. Once the US Civil War began all that changed.

The group of people during the Civil War that were opposed to slavery were referred to as abolitionists. One of the most famous abolitionists was Benjamin Franklin, who was a leading member of the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery, one of the first formal organizations for abolition in the United States.

The abolitionists were people who were against slavery in the 1800's, and believed in the immediate end and abolishment of slavery in America. Abolitionists sought to pass laws preventing the spread of slavery. They helped Southern slaves escape to Canada, many using the organized network of the Underground Railroad. Some abolitionists just helped slaves tell their story. In 1860, the election of pro-abolition congressmen led to the secession of the Southern slave states to form the Confederacy, leading to the Civil War.
