Explanation:
The term "abolition" is mainly used to describe the end of slavery. In the U.S. abolition was supported by abolitionists, this included all those who considered slavery was immoral or negative and wanted slavery to end. Moreover, abolition was supported by slaves and fugitive slaves who wanted freedom and knew slavery was related to unfair and cruel conditions.
