Explanation:

United States of America has been demarcated their territories based on the slave people settlements in the 18th century. There was a lot of inequality and ethnic separation prevailed in the slave territories of the USA. The slave people are treated harshly and basic facilities like a living, education, and safeguards are not provided to them.

To end slavery, a group of people had united themselves with a view to putting an end to unlawful practice of inequality in the region. This movement started by the group of individuals is called the Abolitionist movement. The Abolitionist movement has attempted to bring about a change between 1830 until the 1870’s but it ended up in failure.

The people in the northern part of America had a pessimistic attitude towards this movement whereas in the southern part showed stiff resistance because lots of slaves were involved in hard labor work like in agriculture fields. The great American men like William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Beecher Stowe are actively involved in the movement and led the anti-slavery movement.
