Abolition: The Movement to End Slavery

The abolition movement aimed to end slavery in the United States and was fueled by the belief that all people deserve freedom and equality. Activists, including Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, fought passionately for the rights of enslaved individuals, organizing rallies, writing articles, and helping people escape through the Underground Railroad.

Their efforts eventually contributed to the passing of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in 1865.
