Revived white abolitionism shifted from gradual colonization to immediate emancipation via behavioral uplift

Evidence

By the 1790s, the abolitionist movement that had begun during the era of the American Revolution had ebbed. White abolitionists, in reviving the movement in the 1830s and ’40s, mostly opposed gradual abolition and colonization. Instead, they pushed for immediate emancipation, while fashioning a new form of racial progress, one focused on individual behavior and acceptance. — Nikole Hannah-Jones et al., The 1619 Project, 1261
