The social reform movement that sought to eliminate slavery in the United States was the abolitionist movement. Gaining momentum in the early 19th century, it comprised various activists, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Lucretia Mott, who campaigned for the immediate emancipation of enslaved people. The movement utilized pamphlets, speeches, and organized events to challenge the moral and ethical implications of slavery, advocating for equal rights. The efforts of abolitionists were pivotal in raising public awareness and ultimately contributed to the Civil War and the eventual passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, abolishing slavery.
