The first people to officially become abolitionists were often members of the Quaker community in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, who condemned slavery and called for its end based on their religious beliefs. Notably, figures like Anthony Benezet and others in the American and British abolitionist movements began advocating against slavery in the mid-18th century. By the late 18th century, organized abolitionist societies emerged, such as the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade in Britain, further formalizing the movement.
