The correct answer is **C. It became more focused on ending slavery immediately.**
During the late 1700s, the abolition movement began as a more gradual approach that sought to limit slavery or promote gradual emancipation. However, by the mid-1800s, especially with the influence of figures like William Lloyd Garrison and the rise of the immediate abolitionist movement, there was a stronger emphasis on ending slavery immediately without compensation to slaveholders, reflecting a shift towards more urgent and radical calls for emancipation.
