Abolitionism: The Movement to End Slavery
()
About this ebook
The abolitionist movement fought to end slavery long before the Civil War.
Abolitionists campaigned for freedom for enslaved people. Abolitionists used print materials, passionate speeches, and direct action to disrupt the racist system of slavery. Learn about abolitionist leaders such as Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass, setbacks and victories for the movement, and the work abolitionists continue to inspire.
