Who did not believe slavery should be abolished? a) stephen douglas b) william lloyd garrison c) john brown d) frederick douglass

The correct answer is Stephen Douglas.

Stephen Douglas was one of the Senators that helped developed the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This law allowed citizens of Kansas and Nebraska to vote on whether or not they wanted slavery when beging admitted into the Union. This ability to let citizens choose whether or not they want slavery shows that Stephen Douglas did not think slavery should be abolished. Rather, he wanted citizens of a state to decide for themselves whether this institution would exist in their respective territory.
