List Of African-american Abolitionists by Nobody: 2:57pm On Aug 25, 2015 |
Abolitionism in the United States was the movement of the American Civil War to end slavery, whether formal or informal, in the United States. In Western Europe and the Americas, abolitionism was a historical movement to end African slave trade and set slaves free. Later, in the 17th century, English Quakers and evangelical religious groups condemned slavery (by then applied mostly to Africans) as un-Christian; in the 18th century, abolition was part of the message of the First Great Awakening in the Thirteen Colonies; and in the same period, rationalist thinkers of the Enlightenment criticized it for violating the rights of man. James Edward Oglethorpe was among the first to articulate the Enlightenment case against slavery, banning it in the Province of Georgia on humanistic grounds, arguing against it in Parliament, and eventually encouraging his friends Granville Sharp and Hannah More to vigorously pursue the cause. Soon after his death in 1785, they joined with William Wilberforce and others in forming the Clapham Sect.[1] Though anti-slavery sentiments were widespread by the late 18th century, the colonies and emerging nations that used slave labor continued to do so, including the South of the United States. Below is the list of African-American Abolitionists. James Presley Ball Nathaniel Booth Peter H. Clark Samuel Cornish Ellen and William Craft Thomas Dalton Martin Delany Frederick Douglass James Forten Margaretta Forten Henry Highland Garnet Frances Harper Lewis Hayden Harriet Jacobs Thomas James Charles Henry Langston John Mercer Langston Jermain Wesley Loguen Henry Moxley John Parker Susan Paul James W.C.
