What did abolitionists do to end slavery?
They all played different parts in abolishing slavery. Some of them were very poor and just helped out where the could, while others, the richer and more powerful ones, did more. Some wrote books of their life story (those that had been slaves, or very involved with the brutal side of the trade) others gave lectures. If you want information on what a particular abolitionist did, go to: http://abolition.e2bn.org/people.html I'm studying this at school at the moment and this website really helped with my research. Also, there should be a fair few pages on the slave trade on Wikipedia.

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.
