Answer:

They wanted to end the practice of slavery and free enslaved workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The abolitionist movement was a movement that defended the immediate emancipation of all slaves and the end of any racial discrimination and segregation. There was a division within the abolitionist movement, some of them were moderate anti-slavery others were more radical. The moderate defended gradual emancipation.
