The south was doing evil. Slavery was evil.

In the 19th century abolitionists were considered terrorist and slavery was mainstream.

If you put the word "some" in front of abolitionists, I think you're probably right about 19th century public opinion.

Uh, no. The states were moving away from slavery. There was a lot of terrorism from the pro-slavers in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.
