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.
American Anti-Slavery Society, (1833â70), promoter, with its state and local auxiliaries, of the cause of immediate abolition of slavery in the United States. 1  As the main activist arm of the Abolition Movement (see abolitionism), the society was founded in 1833 under the leadership of William Lloyd Garrison.
