A political campaign was the final element of the abolitionists' program. In 1835,
the American Anti-Slavery Society bombarded Congress with petitions demanding
the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, an end to the interstate slave trade,
and a ban on admission of new slave states. By 1838, petitions with close to 500,000
signatures had arrived in Washington.
