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.
The goal of the abolitionist movement was the immediate emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination and segregation. Advocating for immediate emancipation distinguished abolitionists from more moderate anti-slavery advocates who argued for gradual emancipation, and from free-soil activists who sought to restrict slavery to existing areas and prevent its spread further west. Radical abolitionism was partly fueled by the religious fervor of the Second Great Awakening, which prompted many people to advocate for emancipation on religious grounds. Abolitionist ideas became increasingly prominent in Northern churches and politics beginning in the 1830s, which contributed to the regional animosity between North and South leading up to the Civil War.
Women were excluded from the abolitionist movement because at that time in history, women did not have any rights. Women could not own property or own a business. Women could not sign documents that freed slaves.
