I thought the Abolitionist movement in the US was started by white Quakers and by the Civil War era had grown to be a mass movement among ypipo. But perhaps we are using the terms differently. The currently main movement is definitely about exclusion and must be stopped.
If you are in secret it is not a mass movement. But they definitely were apart of a movement that was already happening. They did not spark it. They helped, organized & assisted what was already happening.
Also many abolitionists were white supremacists and only wanted to abolish slavery not support equal rights. Some wanted freed Black people sent back to the African continent or to central and south America
