Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The religious group that was credited with being the first American abolitionist group was The Quakers.

Explanation:

The Quakers are a religious movement founded in England, where they were persecuted for opposing the Puritanism of Oliver Cromwell.

They found a space of religious freedom in the United States, in Rhode Island, where religious tolerance had been decreed. William Penn (1644-1718), who was a Quaker, founded the Pennsylvania colony with money in payment of debts to his family.

Quakers rejected slavery since its appearance in England. They were the first to condemn it in the United States, even before the Declaration of Independence.
