Two prominent abolitionists during the Civil War were Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. Frederick Douglass was a former enslaved person who became a powerful orator and writer, advocating for the end of slavery and equal rights for African Americans. Harriet Tubman, also a former enslaved person, is best known for her role in the Underground Railroad, leading many enslaved individuals to freedom and actively supporting the Union cause during the war. Both played significant roles in shaping public opinion against slavery and advancing the abolitionist movement.

An abolitionist was important in the civil war because abolitionists wanted to abolish or get rid of slavery. And for a lot of people the war was about slavery.
