Answer: Despite differences, abolitionists agreed more than they disagreed and generally worked together. The public hostility to abolitionists was extreme, resulting in mob attacks, censorship of the mails in the South, and even passage of a gag rule to stop discussion of antislavery petitions in Congress. Such attacks and restrictions elicited sympathy for the protection and rights of the abolitionists and kept the issue in the public eye.
