Abolition Movement

• This was the attempt of ending slavery and slave trade in general in both North and South.
• Some Abolitionist were very violent like John Brown who was a white man who killed a few people trying to stop slavery.
• Others were more involved in protest like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks.
• This movement had little effect on the South part of America and everything under the south
• The president Abraham Lincoln supported the Abolition Movement and therefore the North had a great success and the Emancipation Proclamation was passed which is a law that prohibited any type of slaves.
