American anti-slavery movement

The American anti-slavery movement was a social and political effort during the 18th and 19th centuries to end slavery in the United States. Activists, including abolitionists, campaigned through speeches, writings, protests, and political action to promote human rights and Justice. The movement gained momentum leading to the 13th Amendment in 1865, which abolished slavery. It involved diverse groups working together to challenge racial injustice, emphasizing moral, religious, and legal arguments against slavery’s cruelty and inhumanity. The movement played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s stance on equality and civil rights.
