Sauron and his purpose was far more known than Morgoth's. Morgoth's fortresses were far in the north while Sauron's homes of Dol Guldur and Barad-dur weren't very concealed. The men and many of the elves were still new to the world and did not know of such evil...Sauron's foes in the Third Age were of less stature and were readily aware of his (army's) terrible strength. Morgoth and Sauron also had different purposes. Though Morgoth desired domination, the chief conflict was over the posession of the Silmarils; Sauron was fighting to destroy immediately and take over the world. Morgoth was defending some of the time while Sauron was taking the offense.
