Abolitionists were people who wanted the Slaves to be free...They were the people who helped with the underground railroad for example. So, no, I think if you owned a slave back then, you really didn't want an abolitionist watching your slave ;)

William Wells Brown helped slaves escape by using his position as a lecturer and writer to spread abolitionist ideas, as well as working closely with the Underground Railroad to assist slaves in their journey to freedom. He also used his writing to draw attention to the issues of slavery and encourage others to take action in supporting the abolitionist cause.
The goal of the abolitionist movement was to end slavery, promote racial equality, and ensure the rights and freedom of enslaved individuals. Abolitionists advocated for the immediate emancipation of all slaves and the establishment of laws that prohibited slavery.
People helped runaway slaves for various reasons, including moral beliefs that slavery was wrong, empathy for the plight of the slaves, religious convictions, and a desire to support the abolitionist movement. Some individuals also helped runaway slaves as part of the Underground Railroad network, which aimed to aid escaped slaves in reaching freedom in the North.
The new Fugitive Slave Act heightened tensions in the abolitionist movement by requiring all citizens to assist in the capture and return of runaway slaves, even in free states. This led to increased resistance and defiance among abolitionists, as they saw the law as violating their moral principles and undermining their efforts to help slaves escape to freedom. The Act contributed to the radicalization of the abolitionist movement and fueled divisions over how to effectively challenge the institution of slavery.
No, and most abolitionists were white, because most blacks were slaves. Some blacks might have contributed by doing stuff as an abolitionist, but an abolitionist did not have to be a slave. (More appropreatly slaves couldent, only freed slaves could do anything)
