Answer 1

The correct answer is H) Quakers argued that slavery violated Christian principles

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quakers are a Christian sect that originated in the 17th Century England. In early years, they were persecuted by both the followers of church of England and Catholics.

As such, they immigrated outside England, finally settling in the new world.

They were one of the earliest known religious groups to work towards abolishing slavery. When the first ''Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade '' was formed in Great Britain, the vast majority of members were Quakers who were religiously working towards abolishing slavery as an institution.

The impact of Quakers was also felt in the American colonies and even after the formation of the United States.
