Detailed explanation-1: -Abolitionism, or the abolitionist movement, is the movement to end slavery. In Western Europe and the Americas, abolitionism was a historic movement that sought to end the Atlantic slave trade and liberate the enslaved people, which eventually spread to eradicate slavery from the entire world.
Detailed explanation-2: -English reformers took the lead in this and were joined by Americans with varied motives. Some southerners feared slave revolts if importation continued.
