The New England Anti-Slavery Society

The New England Anti-Slavery Society, founded in 1832, was a prominent organization dedicated to ending slavery in the United States. It united abolitionists who worked through advocacy, education, and political action to promote emancipation and equal rights for African Americans. The society played a key role in shaping anti-slavery movements in the North, organizing speeches, petitions, and campaigns to influence public opinion and government policy. Its efforts contributed significantly to the growing momentum that eventually led to the abolition of slavery with the 13th Amendment.
