The antislavery movement arose in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as a response to the moral and ethical concerns surrounding slavery, particularly in the United States and Britain. Influenced by Enlightenment ideals of liberty and human rights, abolitionists utilized literature, speeches, and activism to raise awareness about the inhumanity of slavery. The movement gained momentum through the efforts of key figures like Frederick Douglass and William Wilberforce, as well as grassroots organizations that mobilized public opinion. By the mid-19th century, the movement significantly impacted legislation and public consciousness, ultimately contributing to the abolition of slavery.
