A. Many female antislavery champions also demanded the right to vote. ( i think its this one lets go over the other options)

B. Men believed that women of all races were slaves and deserved to suffer. ( ha ha no this is not correct. women started become stronger and more independent at this times so obviously at least some men were OK with this)

C. The Second Great Awakening led to abolition and great medical advances. ( yes the second great awakening led to abolition which is the act agents slavery. but i dont see how this relates to the picture)

D. Women who defended slaves were permitted to elect leaders.

( no women who defended slaves went to jail. helping slaves were illegal so the women wouldn't become elect leaders. some women did however help slaves and not get caught but they weren't permitted to anything)

in conclusion the answer is A ( i assume)
