The abolitionist movement was a social and political push for the immediate emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination and segregation. Advocating for emancipation separated abolitionists from more moderate anti-slavery advocates, who argued for gradual emancipation, and from “Free-Soil” activists who sought to restrict slavery to existing areas and prevent its spread. ​

From the 1830s until 1870, the abolitionist movement attempted to achieve immediate emancipation of all slaves and the ending of racial segregation and discrimination.​

The underground railroad was not a real railroad. It was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by 19th century black slaves in the US to escape to free states. "Conductors" guided runways to "stations" where they could spend the night​. Stations were homes of abolitionists and churches​. Conductors were  abolitionists and allies who were against slavery.  The exact dates of its existence are not known, but it operated from the late 18th century to the Civil War​. The Quakers are considered the first organized group to actively help escaped slaves​. Quakers in North Carolina established abolitionist groups that laid the groundwork for routes and shelters for escapees​. In 1831 slave Tice Davids escaped from Kentucky into Ohio and his owner blamed an “underground railroad” for helping Davids to freedom​. Vigilance Committees were created to protect escaped slaves from bounty hunters in New York in 1835 and Philadelphia in 1838—soon expanded their activities to guide slaves on the run​. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 made capturing escaped slaves a lucrative business, and there were fewer hiding places for them​.

Dred Scott Decision

By the later 1850s, organized abolitionism in politics had been subsumed by the larger sectional crisis over slavery prompted by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Dred Scott decision, and John Brown‘s raid on Harpers Ferry. The movement again split in 1865, when Garrison and his supporters asserted that the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery made continuation of the American Anti-Slavery Society unnecessary. But a larger group led by Wendell Phillips, insisting that only the achievement of complete political equality for all black males could guarantee the freedom of the former slaves, successfully prevented Garrison from dissolving the society. It continued until 1870 to demand land, the ballot, and education for the freedman. Only when the Fifteenth Amendment extending male suffrage to African-Americans was passed did the society declare its mission completed.
