The term "abolitionist" refers to someone who was opposed to slavery. If you're wondering how to identify this answer from the given options, let's go through them one by one:
1. Carpetbagger: This term refers to a Northerner who moved to the Southern states after the American Civil War for financial or political gain. It doesn't necessarily indicate their stance on slavery.
2. Planter: This term refers to a large landowner who cultivated crops, particularly in the Southern states. While some plantation owners were against slavery, being a planter alone doesn't imply opposition to slavery.
3. Abolitionist: This is the correct answer. An abolitionist is someone who actively fought to abolish or end slavery.
4. Scalawag: This term is typically used to describe white Southerners who supported Reconstruction policies after the Civil War. It doesn't inherently indicate their stance on slavery.
To summarize, the correct answer from the options given is "abolitionist."
