Early Abolitionists

                    

Abolitionism was created with the American republic.  It didnt go away until the nation's close death experience of the Civil War. And whle the Abolitionists worked to abolish slavery and racism through the years , their plans and tactics continuously evolved. The era between the American Revolution and the 1830's was the first time of transformation. The beginning was an elite Abolitionist movement in Pennyslvania while the post Revolutionary time slowed down to an egalitarian movement in Massachusetts in the 1830's. There were alter in locations , abolitionists strategies , and tatics.  In Pennyslvania , where they needed support to end slavery from the politicians. Changes in American political culture and the social life of the society had an influence on abolitionists transformation during the 1820's into the early years of the 1830's starting with the stories and beliefs of revivalism down to the upcoming prominence of free black and female activits.Massachusetts agitators took hold of the cultural change to turn the abolitionist movement into an revolutionary force to go against Pennyslvania's traditional ways of reform.
