Question

What role did white women and African-Americans play in the Abolitionist movement the 1830s-1860?

Answer 1

Answer:

More white women than black women were prominent in the abolitionist movement, for a variety of reasons: Although the movement of all women was restricted by social convention, white women had more freedom than black women to move about. White women were more likely to have the income to support themselves while doing abolitionist work.
