Freedom of the press gave people the right to publish their opinions in the newspaper, where as in other countries if you published a negative opinion about an important politician or something you could get killed. It was important to the abolitionists because they could speak their minds freely and get their opinions across to others without being restricted.

Basically, freedom of the press means that you’re allowed to express yourself freely in writing. For example, if you said something bad about the government in a piece of writing, you couldn’t get punished by the government.

Hope I helped!
