I think the passage where Sam sees the fight between the Rangers of Ithilien and the men of Harad may reveal some of Tolkien's views on the matter.

Sam sees the battle of men vs men, a Southron is kiled near him and he wonders where the man lived, whether he was really evil or if he was just an ordinary man recruited by threats and lies.
