The correct answer is C) Abolitionists

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of the abolitionist movement, and therefore the purpose of abolitionists was to end slavery. This movement emerged in North Ameria as people did not agree with the idea Africans and their descendants were used as slaves, which was a common practice during the XVIII and XIX. Moreover, abolitionists believed slavery should be avoided because this was morally wrong, there were alternatives to have a profitable economy and this was necessary to modernize the country and advance. Also, abolitionists opposed groups such as southern democrats or proslavery advocates that supported slavery. According to this, abolitionists were the ones that believed slavery was evil and needed to be eradicated.
