Who were against slavery and wanted it to be illegal?
The abolitionist movement wanted to immediate freedom of all slaves and the ending of racial discrimination. Although abolitionist feelings had been strong during the American revolution and in the Upper South in the 1820's it did not really form a movement until 1830. The Second Great Awakening gave a boost to the movement. In December 1833 60 people of all genders and races met to form the American anti slavery society which denounced slavery as a sin that must be abolished, endorsed nonviolence, and condemned racial prejudice. By 1835 the society had support from African-American communities in the North and had established branches in the free states and flooded the North with antislavery literature, agents, and petitions demanding Congress end all federal support for slavery.
What was the difference between abolitionists and people who were anti slavery?
In the years leading up to (and also including) the American Civil War, opponents of the Southern way of life were not completely of one mind. Those who belonged to the "anti-slavery" camp generally opposed slavery but, often if not always, were content to allow it to remain in the South. Those who were "abolitionists" were much more zealous: they sought to eradicate slavery in all of its forms, even if that meant revolutionizing (or even destroying) Southern life in its antebellum form. The abolitionists demanded an immediate end to slavery regardless of the consequences. People such as Lincoln believed a gradual end to slavery, with compensation to the slave owners was a good idea. Once the US Civil War began all that changed.
