I chose the abolition movement because of its profound impact on American society and the fight for human rights. The primary goal of the abolition movement was to end slavery and promote equal rights for African Americans. Key figures included Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave who became a powerful orator and writer advocating for the rights of enslaved people, and Harriet Tubman, who played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad, helping countless slaves escape to freedom. The abolition movement significantly influenced the nation by raising awareness of the immorality of slavery, ultimately leading to the Civil War and the passage of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. I chose this reform movement to highlight its foundational role in shaping modern America and addressing issues of racial inequality that persist today.
