Step-by-step explanation:

Abolitionism was the movement to end slavery. The abolitionists saw slavery as an abomination and a disturbance to the US, making it their goal to ban as slavery.

Some major abolitionists who were a huge part of history are Fredrick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and John Brown.
