The Abolitionist Movement 1830 – 1865 Alexander Cunningham UMUC Abstract The Abolitionist Movement during 1830 and 1865 was a crusade to achieve immediate emancipation of all slaves, and to end racial segregation and discrimination. This anti-slavery movement consisted of black and white abolitionists in the North, with outposts in the upper South, who denounced slavery as illegal, immoral, economically backward and violated human rights. The advocating of these goals raised issues leading to the Civil War and the Emancipation of all slaves. Abolitionist ideas became increasingly prominent in northern churches and politics in the 1830s.In addition to advocating for immediate emancipation, abolitionists created Anti-Slavery Societies, and were supported by fellow Distinguished Anti-Slavery Advocates, Religious, Political, Radical and Militant Abolitionists who all argued for the same cause: emancipation of all slaves. This essay will recount well-known Anti-Slavery Advocates, societies and how these events known as the, “The Second Great Awakening,” contributed to the regional animosity between North and South and was a factor that leads to the Civil War.

The Double V campaign was very important as it was a symbol worn by black soldiers to show they supported victory against fascism at home and abroad.

These immigrant soldiers would gladly fight and give their lives to protect their homelands from tyrannous German military dictatorship. The U.S. government would use these ties of patriotism and anti-tyranny to strengthen their troops through propaganda, libel, and advertising methods such as slogans, caricatures, and the first appearance of Uncle Sam. Patriotism would unify the American people as a whole during the Twentieth Century. Racial prejudice and segregation were prevalent among both American and European troops during World War I.
