Abolitionists were individuals and groups who actively sought to end slavery, particularly in the United States during the 19th century. They used various methods, including writing, public speaking, and organizing protests, to raise awareness about the moral and ethical implications of slavery. Many abolitionists also aided escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad, providing them with safe passage to freedom. Their efforts culminated in significant political changes, contributing to the eventual abolition of slavery with the 13th Amendment in 1865.
