Explanation:

• Option A: The abolitionist movement focused on ending slavery, not workers' rights. Workers' rights movements are different, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: The abolitionist movement had no direct role in building ties with Great Britain; in fact, some tensions existed, so B is wrong.
• Option C: The abolitionist movement was a significant social and political effort to end slavery. It inspired later movements for civil rights, women's rights, etc., by establishing a tradition of taking action for social and political change. This makes C correct.
• Option D: Most abolitionists advocated non - violent means, and the movement didn't encourage slaves to use violence, so D is incorrect.

C. By starting a tradition of action for social and political change
