How might the abolitionists have been contributing to the tensions arising over slavery?

Answer:

The abolitionists might have been contributing to the tensions arising over slavery by acting towards the immediate emancipation of all slaves through writing books, essays, and articles on the issue of slavery.

Explanation:

The abolitionists were majorly the northerners who wanted to and worked for the eradication of the practices like slavery and discrimination that were prevalent in the southern states of the contemporary US.

Their wish to free the slaves from slavery as quickly as possible made them present the issue in front of the people in the most vibrant language through books and articles. This might have escalated the tensions.

i'll write a docs for you. hold on for a moment

biological/genetic factors means they were born or predisposed to have something. nothing can really change it, and you can't really do much to "fix" it. it isn't something learned

these are the biological factors:

adrian is relatively tall and he is on the basketball team

(adrian can't ever stop being tall or force himself to be tall. likely one or both of his parents are tall as well and they passed on the tall gene. he probably does basketball because he is tall)

the rest are environmental/cultural factors. these are things that are taught to us. for example, cynthia wasn't born saving pocket money, her family most likely taught her this (environmental factor)

hope this !
