What attitudes did abolitionist writers and pro slavery writers portray in their novels?

Abolitionist writers typically portrayed slavery as a moral atrocity, emphasizing the humanity of enslaved individuals and the injustices they faced, often using emotional appeals to evoke empathy and support for the abolitionist cause. In contrast, pro-slavery writers defended the institution of slavery by depicting it as a benevolent system that provided care and civilization to enslaved people, often portraying them as content and better off than in their native lands. This stark contrast in attitudes reflected the broader societal divide over the issue of slavery in America.
