Abolition: The Movement to End Slavery

Abolition was the movement to end slavery in the United States, which gained momentum in the 19th century. Abolitionists, people who fought against slavery, worked tirelessly to advocate for the rights of enslaved individuals.

They organized rallies, wrote pamphlets, and even helped enslaved people escape through the Underground Railroad. Notable figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman emerged during this time, inspiring others to join the fight for freedom and equality.
