Important Abolitionists




Frederick Douglas
He owned a newspaper which was called the North Star
and wrote facts that showed people they didn't have to have slaves. In other words he was against slavery. He even tried to persuade Abraham Lincoln that slaves should be allowed to chose the army. Frederick fought for human rights, in his opinion slaves should have never been allowed in the United States.
Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman fought for human rights and of course slavery. She was a spy, and she helped many people during the civil war.
William Lloyd Harrison
Like Frederick Douglas he gave his opinion though the Newspaper, The Liberator. This Newspaper was against slavery.
