Massachusetts was one of the first states to abolish slavery in the 1780s through court decisions and legislation. The state played a significant role in the abolitionist movement, with prominent figures like William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass advocating for the abolition of slavery. Massachusetts also provided support for runaway slaves through the Underground Railroad.
