Detailed explanation-1: -After the Civil War began in 1861, abolitionists rallied to the Union cause. They rejoiced when President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, declaring the slaves free in many parts of the South. In 1865, the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolished slavery in the country.
Detailed explanation-2: -The abolitionist movement was an organized effort to end the practice of slavery in the United States.
