the American Anti-Slavery Society
In 1833, the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society was formed to advocate for the abolition of slavery and promote human rights. This organization aimed to unite various anti-slavery movements across the globe and played a significant role in the campaign to end slavery in the British Empire, culminating in the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. The society focused on raising awareness, influencing public opinion, and lobbying governments to take action against the slave trade and slavery itself.
The William Lloyd Garrison Anti-Slavery Society fought against slavery primarily through advocacy, public speaking, and the dissemination of anti-slavery literature. Founded by Garrison in 1833, the society organized rallies, published pamphlets and the newspaper "The Liberator," and mobilized grassroots campaigns to raise awareness about the injustices of slavery. It also promoted the idea of immediate emancipation and the moral imperative to end slavery, appealing to the conscience of the nation. Through these efforts, the society aimed to galvanize public opinion and ultimately achieve the abolition of slavery in the United States.
The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 effectively ended slavery for Great Britain. Since slaves had previously been considered property, the act appropriated $20 million to compensate slave owners for their emancipated slaves. It also promoted the industry and apprenticeship of newly freed slaves.
