I chose the Abolition movement because of its profound and lasting impact on American society and its role in shaping the national conversation around human rights. The primary goal of the Abolition movement was to end slavery and promote racial equality, striving for the emancipation of enslaved individuals in the United States. Key figures in this movement included Frederick Douglass, a former enslaved person who became a prominent orator and writer advocating for abolition, and Sojourner Truth, a former enslaved woman who spoke passionately about both abolition and women's rights. The movement significantly impacted the nation by raising awareness of the moral and ethical issues surrounding slavery, fostering a climate of activism that contributed to the Civil War and the eventual abolition of slavery with the 13th Amendment in 1865. I chose this movement because it exemplifies the struggle for justice and equality and set the stage for subsequent civil rights advancements in America.
