Who  

Were 

They?

They were regular people like you and me . . .

 

that wanted to take a stand

 

in America and fight against slavery.   

Origin

Where it all started

 

Abolitionism in America came . . .

 

 in the 1830's when

 

  three men ...

 

William Lloyd Garrison    

 

Arthur Tappan  

 

and Lewis Tappan 

 

 

came  together. . .

 

 and decided that slavery in America  must stop.

 

Especially when so many peoples lives were filled with fear and saddness. 

 

Those people were slaves 

 

Earning little or no pay. 

 

This was not right. 

 

They achieved a lot.

Acheivments

 

 

They united many people despite the color of their skin.

 

Skin color didn't matter , 

 

because all the organizations and groups were all fighting for the same thing.

 

 In fact, by 1838. . .

 

there were over 1,350 anti- slavery societies

 

. . . with almost 250,000 members,most of which were women.

 

It may seem like you could do anything with all those people. . .

 

but there were many issues. . .

 

like protesters, government, Political views etc.

 

In the end. . .

 

everything began to fall into place.

How did they do it?

 

 

They used a number of different stratagies.

 

• The Liberator • The Underground Railroad• Speeches i.e " Ain't I A Woman"

by Sojourner Truth• Pamphlets

Impact
