The first American antislavery society was the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers, which emerged in the late 17th century. However, the first formal organization dedicated to abolition was the American Anti-Slavery Society, founded in 1833 by prominent abolitionists such as William Lloyd Garrison and Arthur Tappan. This society aimed to promote immediate emancipation and the equality of all individuals, advocating for the end of slavery through moral persuasion and political action. Its establishment marked a significant moment in the organized abolition movement in the United States.

There were actually two first political parties. Both parties formed at basically the same time, because the first one (which is technically unknown which party came first) had ideas someone didn't like, so another person formed a second party with their ideas contradicting the first party's ideas. The first two political parties were the Republican Party and the Federalist Party.
Republican Party
Garrison was effective in the antislavery movement by creating his own abolitionist's newspaper, "The Liberator," and be one of the first abolitioniststo call for the "Inmediate and complete emancipation" of enslaved people. And he also started the New England Antislavery Society in 1832 and the American Antislavery Society.
Charles Osborn started the first antislavery newspaper, "The Philanthropist," in 1837. The publication was based in Mount Pleasant, Ohio, and aimed to promote the abolitionist movement and advocate for the rights of enslaved individuals. Osborn's efforts contributed significantly to the growing antislavery sentiment in the United States during that period.

The leading physician who helped found the first American antislavery society was Dr. Benjamin Rush. A prominent physician and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, he was an advocate for social reform and played a key role in the abolitionist movement. In 1775, Rush co-founded the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, which was the first antislavery society in America. His efforts contributed significantly to the fight against slavery in the United States.
