1 St. 1 Min, 8 Jan 1830 Jahr - Abolition Movement (1830s to 1870s)

Beschreibung:

Description: The Abolition Movement sought to be rid of slavery within the United States to varying degrees: some sought a gradual change while the country expanded westward, while others wanted an immediate shift in southern culture to ban slavery.
Causes: The main cause was the cultural gap that occurred between the North and South during the 18th and 19th century, primarily due to differing economies.
Impact: The Abolition Movement heightened tension between the North and South, eventually leading to the Civil War.
