During the Second Great Awakening United States started reforming the country, which included the Temperance, asylum and penal reform, abolitionism, women rights and education reforms. In 1833 American-Anti Slavery society was founded. the founder of the society was Mr. Garrison who was strongly against the slavery. He had founded this society hoping to seek freedom for the slaves.
