Answer 1

D) Slavery should not be acceptable at all

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1831, William Lloyd Garrison began the publication of an abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator, an event that marks the beginning of the radical abolitionist movement. The uncompromising Garrison advocated the immediate abolition of slavery in every state and territory without compensating the slaveowners. This soon was accompanied by slave leaders such as Harriet Tubman, who risked becoming caught by rescuing slaves by returning to the South to bring other slaves to freedom (the underground railroad).
