Southerners opposed slavery in a wide variety of ways. Teaching the enslaved how to read was a direct violation of ant-slave codes that were prevalent during the antebellum period (1830-1860). Many Southerners were also actively involved in antislavery and later abolitionist work. They hid, fed and financed fugitives who escaped from plantations in various parts of the South.
