Question

How did the growth of the abolitionist movement lead to increase sectionalism in the united States

Answer 1

The most major impact of the abolitionist movement was that it made slavery into an emotional and political issue. The issue of whether or not to have slaves was present at the nation's founding. In the Constitution, the Founders agreed to stop importing slaves in 1808

In 1807 the Slave Trade Act abolished the transport of slaves from Africa and the work of religiously inspired abolitionists such as the Quakers and Baptist parliamentarian William Wilberforce led to the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire in 1833.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The abolitionist movement advocated for the total emancipation of slaves and the end of all forms of racial discrimination.
2. It distinguished itself from those who supported the idea of gradual emancipation of slaves and “Free Soil” activists who fought for restricting slavery to specific regions.
3. The abolition movement was prevalent in the Northern region around the beginning of the 1830s and was among the contentious differences between the North and South that led to the Civil War.
