John Oldfield shows how this national campaign became one of the most successful reform movements of the 19th century.

Answer:

As it gained momentum, the abolitionist movement caused increasing friction between states in the North and the slave-owning South. Critics of abolition argued that it contradicted the U.S. Constitution, which left the option of slavery up to individual states
