Abolitionists inspired by the Declaration of Independence because U.S. noted that the Declaration of Independence argued that all men enjoyed inalienable rights, and slavery violated those rights.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The abolition movement is the movement which was started by the people who were against the practice of slavery done by the people from the black community for the people who belonged to white community.

They wanted to end slavery because they thought that all men are equal and no discrimination should be done on the basis of caste or color. The practice of slavery abolished and violated all the rights of the blacks so there fore this practice should be stopped totally.
