Birth of the Movement. The modern American abolition movement emerged in the early 1830s as a by-product of religious revivalism popularly known as the Second Great Awakening. Revivalistic tenets led abolitionists to see slavery as the product of personal sin and to demand emancipation as the price of repentance.
Although a few women attended the founding convention of the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833, that society at first barred women members. In response, abolitionist women formed local organizations, which met at national conventions in 1837, 1838, and 1839.he American Anti-Slavery Society, founded in 1833, attracted tens of thousands of members with lecturing agents, petition drives, and a wide variety of printed materials. Condemning slavery on moral grounds, abolitionists pursued immediate emancipation through moral suasion tactics.
