History of North America

Were the abolitionists in favor of outlawing slavery?

Yes. Abolitionists were individuals and groups who advocated for the immediate and unconditional abolition of slavery in the United States and elsewhere. They believed that slavery was a moral abomination and a violation of human rights, and they worked to bring an end to the practice through activism, education, and political advocacy. Many abolitionists also supported social and economic equality for former slaves.
