During the pre-Civil-War era, abolitionists, both black and white, and slave resisters helped bring about the end of slavery in the United States. Brought about by abolitionists' and slave resisters' efforts, the Emancipation Proclamation and later the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution helped Americans to eliminate slavery. Judith Edwards explores the heroic actions that came out of the abolitionist movement and slave resistance.
