The abolitionist movement was one of the most important movements in American history. One of the reasons of this, is that this is the only movement that caused a complete split of the U.S. and caused a full out war called "The American Civil War". Another reason this movement was crucial, was because slavery was an extremely fast growing issue in the US, and this movement made many more states limit, or ban slave-owning.
