Yes, and that Christian abolitionist movement has been absolutely erased by the historians.
That can be changed. I’ve had enough with these agenda-driven historians.
Unfortunately (I say that as the descendant of Southern Unionist Republicans), the "chrstian abolitionist movement" was not orthodox. It was made up of free-thinkers, Unitarians, Transcendentalists, "free love" advocates, and people who wanted to abolish all "power relationships" (including husband and wife). Naturally such people would go after slavery first before moving on to marriage.
However, this does not mean that one must be a nihilistic freak to oppose slavery. There were perfectly orthodox chrstians who fought against it, such as Wilburforce, Charles G. Finney, and that most right wing of right wing Catholic converts, Orestes Brownson. And the most radical abolitionist of them all (John Brown) was an orthodox Fundamentalist Calvinist.
The irony to all this is that slavery is permitted and regulated by unchanging Divine law (Halakhah), and it is forbidden to add to or take from Divine Law.
