All excellent questions that our abolitionists should have asked.

My abolitionist ancestors busied themselves with disposing of slave catchers over in the family orchard. They'd mark the site with piles of rocks.
Right up against slavery and its evils, the Abolitionists opted for freedom.

Some of the abolitionists knew and assumed that it would desolate the South for centuries. Some of them were aiming at that result.

I think that’s why the Radical Republicans set up Reconstruction and The Freedmen’s Bank.
General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Special Field Orders #15 was “40 acres and a mule” to every freedman. It didn’t happen.
