The correct answer is the freeing of all enslaved people.

The abolitionist movement was driven by the desire of individuals within American society who wanted to get rid of slavery in America. Many of these individuals were driven by past experiences with slavery or religious/moral reasons. This movement gained significant momentum during the middle part of the 19th century. This was especially true after Harriet Beecher Stowe published her book Uncle Tom's Cabin.
