Question

1. the abolition movement focused on which key objective?

a. ending the practice of slavery
b. promoting indentured servitude
c. establishing new colonies in africa
d. expanding the plantation economy

Explanation:

The abolition movement was centered around ending the institution of slavery. Option a directly relates to this goal. Option b is incorrect as indentured servitude is different and not the focus of abolition. Option c refers to colonization efforts like the Back-to-Africa movement which was not the main objective of the general abolition movement. Option d would support slavery as plantations relied on slave labor, so it's opposite to the abolition movement's goal.

Answer:

a. Ending the practice of slavery
