They Fought Slaverly
Abolitionists used religion to justify their cause by emphasizing Christian values such as compassion, equality, and dignity for all individuals, regardless of race. They argued that slavery was incompatible with these beliefs and that it went against the teachings of love and justice in the Bible. Many abolitionists were motivated by their faith to fight against slavery and believed it was their moral duty to work towards its abolition.
Abolitionists fought against slavery through various means, such as writing and distributing anti-slavery literature, organizing boycotts of goods produced by slaves, conducting public lectures and rallies, helping slaves escape through the Underground Railroad, and lobbying politicians to pass laws to end slavery. They believed in the moral wrongness of slavery and worked tirelessly to raise awareness and bring about its abolition.
