An abolitionist was a person who wanted to "abolish" slavery, eliminating it from society. They were more numerous in the North before the US Civil War (1861-1865), but still constituted a small, vocal minority.
Some, such as John Brown, tried to force the freedom of slaves by armed action. He and his supporters killed some slave owners and later attacked the Federal armory at Harper's Ferry on October 16, 1859. His plan to arm and lead a slave revolt failed, and Brown was tried and hanged.
