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?
