The abolitionist movement gained momentum in the 1830s, with organizations like the American Anti-Slavery Society formed to work towards the end of slavery.

Abolitionists wanted to eliminate slavery and ensure equal rights for all individuals. They believed in the inherent dignity and freedom of all people, regardless of race, and advocated for the immediate emancipation of slaves. Abolitionists also fought for equal access to education, employment, and legal protection for former slaves.
During the 1830s, southern opinion about the morality of slavery became more entrenched as pro-slavery arguments were reinforced by religious, economic, and political justifications.
