True.

In the run-up to the Civil War, most people in the North were not especially outraged by the continuation of slavery in its original heartlands. Partly because it yielded the sizable cotton revenues, they saw it as normal or 'natural'.

But the extension of slavery into the new Western territories did not seem 'natural'; it also signalled the danger of the South becoming rich enough to break away and form a separate nation, taking the cotton revenues with them.

The Abolitionists, led by Lloyd Garrison, insisted on outright abolition of all slavery. In due course, this happened, largely because Lincoln had used the Emancipation Proclamation as an effective but unusual war measure that could not be rescinded after the war.

How abolitionists spread their messaged?

Abolitionists employed all manner of strategies to persuade the American public and its leadership to end slavery. One of their first strategies was to unite groups of like-minded individuals to fight as a body. Initially, groups like the American Anti-Slavery Society used lecturing and moral persuasion to attempt to change the hearts and minds of individuals. Many later activists found moral persuasion tactics insufficient and turned their attention to political lobbying.

Th underground railroad was success?

The Underground railroad was indeed a success. Founded and operated by Harriet Tubman, slaves escaping to the North were given aid and shelter en route to Canada where slavery was illegal. Tubman herself had been a slave but escaped. She and other abolitionists helped the slaves get free passage north to Canada. Help was also given by people who were not dedicated abolitionists, but simply saw the need for change and hope.
