The Abolition Movement was a social and political campaign aimed at ending the practice of slavery, particularly in the United States during the 19th century. Activists, including notable figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the inhumane treatment of enslaved people. They organized rallies, wrote pamphlets, and helped enslaved individuals escape through the Underground Railroad. This movement gained momentum in the 1830s and 1840s, leading to increased tensions between the Northern and Southern states. The efforts of abolitionists ultimately contributed to the Civil War and the passage of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in 1865.
