The Abolitionist movement inspired a powerful opposition from almost all white southerners and many white northerners. Due to fears of dramatic and disorientating changes in the existing social system, there was an escalating wave of violence directed towards the Abolitionists. Prudence Crandall was arrested and was forced to close her private school for attempted to admit some African American girls to her school, a mob in Philadelphia attacked and burnt down the Abolitionist Headquarters “Temple of Liberty” and started a brutal race riot and there were even more attacks besides these.

The violence of the Anti-Abolitionists led to some members to take a moderate approach, which wanted to gradually abolish enslavement. These moderates used both moral strategies and arguments as well as political action to support the cause whenever possible.

The frustrations of political abolitionism led to some critics of enslavement to support violence. Some prominent New England Abolitionists funneled money and arms to John Brown to enable violent uprisings in Kansas and Virginia, some attempted to incite widespread anger via propaganda, an example being often wildly altered and distorted witness accounts of slavery. The Schism between anti slavery and abolitionism was born, anti slavery being for keeping enslavement out of the US and wanting to make the US a white-only nation while Abolitionism was the sentiment that enslavement should be ended quickly due to a large plethora of reasons.

Abolitionism further highlighted the stark contrasts between the Free and Slave States economically, politically and culturally. The threat of abolitionism led to the Slave states’ secession from the union as it posed a threat to enslavement, an institute which had deeply rooted itself to the development of the US and at the time, the South more heavily. These differences led to the Civil War, which the union won.

Later on, this inspired the Civil Rights Movements from 1954-68, in which people from many different backgrounds, races, mental conditions and other segregated or discriminated groups protested for their rights.
