    The abolitionists wished to end the institution of slavery in the United States by trying to move the slaves out of America. They wanted to do this as slavery was racially based in America, and argued that if we kept slaves they would not meld well with the racial bias of society. They also believed in the emancipation of slaves in the interest of human rights.

    However, it was not the abolitionists themselves who abolished slavery in the USA. Lincoln signed a proclamation that allowed every slave to be freed, but they were to stay in America. Although this sounds great, many slaves actually died in the process of being freed due to sanitary and survival structures while getting to safer regions. In addition, society was also very racially biased at the time, so life for freed slaves was not necessarily better.
