What did the abolitionists do?
The abolitionists were people who were against slavery in the 1800's, and believed in the immediate end and abolishment of slavery in America. Abolitionists sought to pass laws preventing the spread of slavery. They helped Southern slaves escape to Canada, many using the organized network of the Underground Railroad. Some abolitionists just helped slaves tell their story. In 1860, the election of pro-abolition congressmen led to the secession of the Southern slave states to form the Confederacy, leading to the Civil War.

Where did abolitionists live?
Abolitionists lived along the Underground Railroad so they could assist slaves on the run by giving a safe place to spend the night. Other abolitionists lived in big cities to inform slaves about the underground railroad.
