vegans today will be like we look at abolitionists like Alexander Hamilton back during the 18th century

Alexander Hamilton very deliberately and strategically married into a family of wealthy New York slave owners, then proceeded to cut deals with Virginia slave owners in order to enrich his northern friends through a publicly chartered bank that profited off of increased slave traffic and slave territory expansion.

To call Alexander Hamilton an abolitionist is about as rational as calling Donald Trump a feminist.
