Answer: People of different races had prominent roles in the movement.

Abolitionism was a movement before and during the American Civil War that wanted to end slavery in the United States. The movement defended the humanity of African people and wanted the government to consider them citizens. One way in which they expressed these views in practice was the inclusion of different races into the movement. For example, Frederick Douglass was a prominent abolitionist who had escaped slavery in the South.
