Abolitionists were individuals and groups who advocated for the end of slavery, primarily in the United States during the 19th century. They spread their message through various means, including pamphlets, speeches, newspapers, and the establishment of organizations such as the American Anti-Slavery Society. Many abolitionists, like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, also engaged in direct action, helping enslaved people escape via the Underground Railroad. Their efforts contributed significantly to the growing anti-slavery sentiment that ultimately led to the Civil War.

Abolitionists
The Free Soilers were a political party founded in 1848 that opposed the expansion of slavery into new territories. They were not necessarily abolitionists, as their primary goal was to prevent the spread of slavery rather than advocate for its immediate end. Abolitionists, on the other hand, were individuals and groups who sought the immediate emancipation and abolition of slavery.
Publishing was important to abolitionists because it allowed them to spread their message to a wider audience, educate the public about the horrors of slavery, and garner support for the abolitionist cause. Through pamphlets, newspapers, books, and speeches, abolitionists were able to reach people across different geographical locations and influence public opinion.
