The main disagreement between abolitionists who were "immediatists" and those who were "gradualists" was, “Should slavery end slowly or quickly?”
The above disagreement is in the context of anti-slavery movements where proponents of one approach identified as "immediatists", wanted an immediate and complete ban on slavery because they regarded it to be sinful.
On the other hand there was a group called "Gradualists" who thought that slavery should be gotten rid of in a more gradual manner so that the society has time to reform and adjust itself to a new reality as the American society was too accustomed to slavery.

The main disagreement between abolitionists who were “immediatists” compared to those who were “gradualists” was whether slavery should end quickly or slowly.
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
- This disagreement is in response to the anti-slavery movements where the immediatists wanted a complete ban on slavery as they believed that it is a sinful act.
- On the other hand, the gradualists believed that slavery should end in a slow manner which gives society enough time to adjust itself to a new reality.
