From the 1830s until 1870, the abolitionist movement attempted to achieve immediate emancipation of all slaves and the ending of racial segregation and discrimination.
By Femi Lewis. The abolition of slavery began in 1688 when German and Dutch Quakers published a pamphlet denouncing the practice. For more than 150 years, the abolition movement continued to evolve and by the 1830s, both African-Americans and whites were fighting to end the institution of slavery in the United States. Prominent abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison said early in the 1830s, I will not equivocate...and I will be heard.. Garrison's words would set the tone for the transforming abolition movement, which would continue to build steam up until the Civil War.
