During the 1840s, abolitionism entered mainstream American life. With the publication of anti-slavery newspapers like North Star and political activism especially amongst religious women in the northeast, abolishing slavery became an important topic in politics. Laws such as The Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 both dealt with issues of slavery/anti-slavery, and slavery/anti-slavery sentiments bred the new political party, the Republican party.

In the years leading up to (and also including) the American Civil War, opponents of the Southern way of life were not completely of one mind. Those who belonged to the "anti-slavery" camp generally opposed slavery but, often if not always, were content to allow it to remain in the South. Those who were "abolitionists" were much more zealous: they sought to eradicate slavery in all of its forms, even if that meant revolutionizing (or even destroying) Southern life in its antebellum form.

The abolitionists demanded an immediate end to slavery regardless of the consequences. People such as Lincoln believed a gradual end to slavery, with compensation to the slave owners was a good idea. Once the US Civil War began all that changed.

that is the answer

Harriet Tubman because she led over 300 slaves out of the south with 19 trips to the south she also was a slave and escaped herself she was nicknamed moses

The Fugitive Slave Act allowed the appointment of official slave-catchers to arrest runaways. This aroused indignation among Northern abolitionists, and promoted support for the Underground Railroad - the system of safe-houses where runaways could be sumggled into Canada. Harriet Beecher Stowe was so angered by it that she wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', which engaged the attention of large numbers who had not been especially interested up till then.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was an attempt to put the slavery question to a local vote, for each territory wanting to join the USA. It had the effect of encouraging cross-border terrorists to intimidate voters and claim that all the results were rigged.

Yes he is. He dedicated twenty years of his life to the abolitionist cause and he signed the Anti-Slavery Declaration of 1833, which he often considered the most significant action of his life.

Northeners did not like the way that southerner people treated African Americans AND in the north they were mostly manufacturing companies so they didn't need slaves...southerners farmed and needed someone to harvest their goods.

Womens rights

Yes William Garrison did have siblings. He had two older sisters, an older brother, and a younger sister. William was the fourth born child.

They believed that the abolitionist movement was right.

These are what some abolitionists did:

George Washington: emancipated his slaves after his wife died.

Benjamin Franklin: used his antislavery society.

The British Empire abolished slavery in all its territories in 1787, while it was not until 1863 that President Lincoln abolished slavery in the US. His act was then supported by the 13th Amendment.

Because the North was gradually learning the idea of equal rights while the South was busy being extremely patriotic.
