The Anti-Slavery Movement was a social and political campaign aimed at ending the practice of slavery and promoting the rights of enslaved people. It gained momentum in the late 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in countries like the United States and Britain. Activists, including notable figures such as Frederick Douglass and William Wilberforce, worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the inhumanity of slavery and advocate for its abolition. The movement utilized various strategies, including public speeches, publications, and petitions, to influence public opinion and legislation. Key milestones included the formation of organizations like the American Anti-Slavery Society and the passage of laws such as the Emancipation Proclamation in the U.S. and the Slavery Abolition Act in Britain, which ultimately led to the end of legal slavery in many parts of the world.
