Shortly after the Revolutionary War, several slave-holders, uneasy over bondage in a country of liberty, declared that servitude was an "intrinsic evil." By the 1830s, as abolitionist assaults on bondage strengthened, slaveholders now maintained captivity was a "positive good."

Other abolitionists requested for a progressive abolition or expansion. Garrison desired to end captivity but did not promote brutality to accomplish his purposes.

A shared religion can be something that the majority of the population shares.
