What was the difference between abolitionists and people who were anti slavery?

Answer 1

In the years leading up to (and also including) the American Civil War, opponents of the Southern way of life were not completely of one mind. Those who belonged to the "anti-slavery" camp generally opposed slavery but, often if not always, were content to allow it to remain in the South. Those who were "abolitionists" were much more zealous: they sought to eradicate slavery in all of its forms, even if that meant revolutionizing (or even destroying) Southern life in its antebellum form.

The abolitionists demanded an immediate end to slavery regardless of the consequences. People such as Lincoln believed a gradual end to slavery, with compensation to the slave owners was a good idea. Once the US Civil War began all that changed.

Answer 2

People who are anti-slavery wish to abolish slavery right now, while people who are abolitionists want nothing to do with it.

People who are anti-slavery wish that slavery would be seen as immoral, whole people who are abolitionists want popular sovereignty to become the status que.

People who are abolitionists want to allow slavery while people who are anti-slavery are against it.

Abolitionists wish to abolish slavery right now. While people who are anti-slavery want nothing to do with it.

someone guess which is the correct answer.
