How did racial divisions between abolitionists impact their efficiency in working towards a common goal during the Abolitionist movement? (Specifically the American Abolitionist Movement during the 1900s)

by GolfingHistorian

My U.S. I History teacher gave me this question for a research paper. Basically, the way I read the question, I saw it more of a question about internal conflicts within the abolitionist movement between white and black abolitionists, since black abolitionists wanted more equal rights while white abolitionists were mostly working towards literal abolition.

​

There aren't many sources, especially primary sources, on this topic so I was wondering if anybody could give me some ideas and point me in the right direction for my research.

The sources I have found so far are very broad:

Thank you so much in advance!

During the 1900s? Slavery was abolished in the 1900s. Could you clarify?
