  The abolitionist movement was a social and political push for the emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination and segregation.

  Worldwide the abolitionist movement began in 1688 when German and Dutch Quakers published a pamphlet denouncing the practice.

  In the United States, by the 1830s, evangelical Christian groups in New England became drawn with the cause of abolitionism. They attempted to end slavery by appealing to the conscience of its supporters.
