During this time, there were many challenges against this institution also known as the abolitionist movement. The abolitionist movement was the idea of letting all slaves free and to end racial discrimination in the United States. Abolitionists were those participating in this movement and wanted to end slavery. They challenged the peculiar institution by forming new antislavery churches through religion, and impacted a change in higher education as well when they founded the first school that accepted mixed races. The abolitionists impacted this nation greatly. They were able to show writings from Africans that showed they were smart and could receive an education. I think this alone made people who saw slaves as “unhuman” realize that they were actually people who had thoughts, feelings and capabilities far beyond their beliefs. Many Abolitionists caused uprisings of slaves and led them to fight back and defend themselves. Some people became fearful of slaves after this. The abolitionist movement changed this nation for the better and everything they used to fight slavery contributed to this
