Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

A. abolition of slavery

Explanation:

The Grimké sisters were two white Americans who were born in South Carolina and moved to the North in the early 1820s. Having born in a family who owned slaves, they were expected to eventually get married and manage the slaves who ran their household, however, they had a different view on the matter, they rejected all forms of oppression toward man and women, regardless of their race, and became social activists in the causes of abolition, ending racial prejudice and women's right.
