The movement that aimed to end the practice of slavery in the United States is known as the abolition movement. This social and political campaign gained momentum in the 19th century, supported by various religious, moral, and economic arguments against slavery. Prominent figures, such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and William Lloyd Garrison, played significant roles in advocating for abolition. The movement sought to raise awareness about the inhumanity of slavery and fought for the rights of African Americans. It contributed to the growing tensions leading up to the Civil War and ultimately succeeded with the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865.
