The Abolitionists were not very numerous, but they included some highly respected men in Congress and the Senate.

After the Mexican War, there were vast new territories that would soon become states of the USA, and there was a strong body of opinion that slavery should not be allowed there.

This helped Lincoln to win the 1860 election on a ticket of no new slave-states, although he was not actually preaching Abolitionism at that time.

The Dred Scott v. Sandford case contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War by ruling that African Americans were not considered citizens and therefore did not have the right to sue in federal court.
