Answer

B
They published newspapers to spread the antislavery message.
C
They wrote letters to Congress asking for antislavery laws.
D
They held public meetings with antislavery speakers.
E
They violently attacked people who supported slavery.

Explanation

Abolitionists worked to persuade the public and lawmakers to oppose slavery. They published antislavery newspapers, wrote to Congress seeking antislavery laws, and held public meetings where speakers argued for abolition. They helped some enslaved people escape, but kidnapping people and bringing them north was not a typical antislavery tactic, and violent attacks on slavery’s supporters were not a standard approach.
