what are the key components of the Abolitionist movement?

Answer 1

Freedom for slaves
Equality for slaves
The vote for slaves
This, however, seemed to apply only to male slaves, as freedmen. Even Frederick Douglass suggested that women should not receive equality and the right to vote, saying 'this our turn now, your turn will come later'.

Answer 2

This is a more difficult than the previous posters understood. Here is an historically sound answer:

1. The Anti-slavery and the abolitionist movements were related but NOT the same thing.
2. The abolitionist movement involved the following characteristics:
--The IMMEDIATE emancipation of all slaves--the anti-slavery movement did NOT want immediate emancipation they wanted a more sane, gradual emancipation.
--The abolitionists were emotionally driven whereas the anti-slavery advocates were more intellectually based
--The abolitionists were religiously grounded whereas the anti-slavery proponents were constitutionally focused
--The abolitionists were prone to reactionary measures (like John Brown's murder of a slave-holding family in Kansas and his takeover of Harper Ferry, Virginia)
--The abolitionists were against slavery because it was WRONG (morally) whereas the anti-slavery people were against slavery because it was illegal or unconstitutional
--The abolitionists were led by individuals like: William Lloyd Garrison, Elijah P. Lovejoy, and John Brown
--The abolitionists used the Bible as their standard
--The anti-slavery advocates used local laws and the Constitution of the United States as their standards

And there you have it.

Answer 4

I always just thought it was freeing the slaves. I guess I should have listened more in school.
