The abolitionist movement was begun by the activities of African-Americans, especially in the fl church, who argued that the old Biblical justifications for slavery contradicted the New Testament.
African-American activisits and their writings were rarely heard outside the fl community; however, they were tremendously influential to some sympathetic whites, most prominently the first white activist to reach prominence, William Lloyd Garrison, who was its most effective propagandist.
