Explanation: The abolitionist movement was a political and social push for the immediate emancipation of slaves and the end of racial discrimination/segregation. Abolitionist feelings were very strong during the American Revolution. There was a large spread of powerful evangelical religious movements which arose to impart spiritual direction to society, encouraging people to abolish discrimination and slavery. People saw this as a moral obligation to help those in need. Thomas Jefferson was also in favor of establishing a no slave country.
