Various groups opposed the abolitionist movement, including Southern slaveholders, pro-slavery politicians, and white supremacist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan. These groups benefited economically and socially from the institution of slavery and feared the consequences of its abolition, such as loss of labor and power dynamics shifting. They often used violence, intimidation, and legal mechanisms to preserve slavery and suppress the abolitionist cause.

At an early age, William Lloyd Garrison became an abolitionist and became a founder of the American Anti-Slavery Association in the early 1830's. And he founded the anti-slavery newspaper the "Liberator" in 1831. Even in New England at this time there were many people against the abolitionist movement, which called for the immediate liberation of slaves. Opponents were many and feared that freed slaves would migrate north to compete for jobs and live among the white population. Various types of segregation laws were in effect in the 1830's, even in New England. The abolitionist movement was small, however, Garrison endured even angry mobs that turned against him.
