The leading physician who helped found the first American antislavery society was Dr. Benjamin Rush. A prominent physician and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, he was an advocate for social reform and played a key role in the abolitionist movement. In 1775, Rush co-founded the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, which was the first antislavery society in America. His efforts contributed significantly to the fight against slavery in the United States.
The first antislavery society in America was the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, founded in 1775 in Philadelphia. Established by a group of Quakers and other activists, it aimed to promote the abolition of slavery and aid enslaved individuals. The society played a crucial role in advocating for the rights of African Americans and laid the groundwork for future abolitionist movements in the United States. Its efforts contributed significantly to the growing antislavery sentiment leading up to the Civil War.
