It was a movement to end the slave trade and set slaves free.
After the total abolition of slavery, a movement started to allow the return to Africa of recently freed slaves. To facilitate this, the country of Liberia was founded.
The movement to end slavery was called the "Abolition" movement. The abolitionist with the help of freed and indentured slaves came up with the "Underground Railroad;" which was a system to bring runaway slaves to safe-houses until they could be brought to freedom in the northern states. The act that made it illegal to own slaves was the Emancipation Procalamtion read by Abraham Lincoln.
Slavery, the exploration of the labour of the slaves.
Antislavery crusaders sought freedom and better treatment for slaves, working to end the institution of slavery and advocating for the abolition of laws that supported it. They also worked towards social and political equality for former slaves after emancipation.
Slaves became free through various means, including escapes, rebellions, legal actions, and emancipation by owners. Some sought refuge with groups or individuals advocating for abolition. The abolition of slavery in the United States was achieved with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865.
The ending of slavery was known as abolition from the verb abolish, meaning to do away. The movement toward abolition led to the US Civil War.The word used to mean "setting slaves free" was emancipation (verb to emancipate).When slaves were voluntarily freed by their 'owners', the process was called manumission (verb to manumit, to release from slavery).
