The people who wanted to abolish slavery were called abolitionists. They advocated for the end of slavery and worked towards achieving equal rights for enslaved individuals. Abolitionists came from various backgrounds and included both white and Black activists, often engaging in political, social, and grassroots efforts to promote their cause.
Estimates suggest that around 100 to 200 white individuals played significant roles in the Underground Railroad, aiding enslaved people in their escape to freedom. These allies included abolitionists, free blacks, and sympathetic individuals who provided shelter, transportation, and resources. Their contributions were crucial in facilitating the safe passage of thousands of enslaved people to free states and Canada. However, the majority of those involved were free Black individuals who risked their lives for the cause.

While there may have been instances where abolitionist groups assisted immigrants, it was not their primary mission. Their main efforts were concentrated on the abolition of slavery and the fight for racial equality.
