The first group in the American colonies to formally oppose slavery were the Quakers, also known as the Religious Society of Friends. In the late 17th century, they began to advocate for the abolition of slavery, emphasizing the equality of all individuals and the moral implications of enslavement. Their opposition laid the groundwork for future abolitionist movements in America.
