The Abolitionist Movement
The Abolitionist Movement was the biggest problem in the nineteenth century. This movement was necessary to create a more just and fair society for all Americans for two reasons. One is why should people have to work all day, have terrible living conditions, be other people’s property for no pay what so ever? Also, its discrimination to only have blacks be enslaved.

And the Underground Railroad was very key for getting slaves out and back to freedom. Harriet Tubman is supposed to be the new face of the twenty dollar bill which is well deserved and well awaited. There is no one other person that helped this movement more at all beside the three remarkable people from the movement period. Sadly if slavery ever comes around again it will be hard to get rid of because we don’t have the three leaders from the Abolitionist movement with us today named Harriet Tubman, William Garrison, and Frederick
