For three decades before the civil war this movement agitated for the end of Slavery in America. The group came togeather to act politically in the AntiSlavery cause. The abolitionist movement was of high moral purpose an courage, and made the Slavery question the prime concern of national politics. Although Antislavery sentiments had existed during the 1750s, it did not reach crusading proportions. until the 1830s. One of its main spring was the growing influence of  religion. The religions revival that began in western New York in 1824 and swept much of  the north. This created a powerful impulse toward social reform, and the freeing  of Slaves. Arthur and Lewis Tappan along  with Lloyd Garrison began publishing an abolitionist journal The Liberator.
