In the 1860s, opposition to slavery was prominently represented by abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and William Lloyd Garrison. Many members of the Republican Party, including President Abraham Lincoln, also opposed the expansion of slavery into new territories. Additionally, various religious groups and social reformers advocated for the end of slavery, contributing to the growing anti-slavery sentiment leading up to and during the Civil War.
