The abolition movement was a social and political campaign aimed at ending slavery and promoting the emancipation of enslaved people, primarily in the United States during the 19th century. This movement garnered support from various groups, including abolitionist societies, religious organizations like the Quakers, and prominent individuals such as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. Activists used speeches, writings, and grassroots organizing to raise awareness and advocate for the rights of enslaved individuals. The movement ultimately contributed to the legal end of slavery with the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865.
Horace Mann became a leader in education and strongly supported abolition of slavery but believed that women should not lead in that movement. He thought that women should focus on their traditional roles as wives and mothers.
