Episode: The Origins and History of the Abolitionist Movement
Description: The most significant event in American history was undoubtedly the Civil War. The Civil War was, of course, the result of the institution of slavery, which had existed for generations by that time. By the same token, the opposition to slavery had existed for just as long. The opposition to slavery began amongst devoutly religious people but eventually spread into a mass social and political movement. Learn more about the abolitionist movement, its origin, and its growth on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.Sponsors
