Introduction
The study of social movement reflects the social issues in
different periods have faced. This work will focus on the
Abolition Movement and the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) social movements. Social movements are a
result of general public consensus towards dealing with major
social issues in the community.
I will discuss the historical background and ideals that
supported the development of the Abolition Movement and the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Social

2. Movement. This is intended to show the correlation between
their emergence and the key social issues that the community
faced.
The Abolition movement
The Abolition movement was jumpstarted with the effort of
ending slavery in America. It held that all people are created
equal, and hence the practice of slavery was unacceptable. This
movement existed in the 19th century when many people started
publicly displaying dissatisfaction for the slavery practices in
the country. It placed more pressure on the authorities to outlaw
slavery (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, 2017). It would allow for
increased debate about segregation and discrimination.
Slaved men and women worked on large agricultural farms as
maids. Their life was brutal; they were subject to severe
punishments and strict racial rules and policies. With time they
opposed slavery through daily acts like antislavery movements.
The basis of this movement was that all men were created equal
and hence, the effort to emancipate slaves (Martos, Wilson &
Meyer, (2017).
Abolitionists managed to integrate religion and moral
movement, that focused on the acceptance that everyone was
equal before the eyes of their creator and later on became
political. Antislavery societies were formed by various churches
to create awareness of evil effects of slavery (Lysack, 2012).
American Colonization Society (founded 1817) was first
movement to abolishing slavery but was greatly opposed since it
was seen as unfair to send Black Americans from their
motherland to Africa.
The American Antislavery Society was founded in 1833 by
prominent leaders, such as William Lloyd Garrison David
Walker and Frederick Douglass (Black Abolitionist) strongly
opposed slavery in their publications (Pepin-Neff & Wynter,
2019). These publications disputed against slavery as anti-social
and immoral and repeatedly used illustrations of African -
American literatures and other accomplishments to outline that
the Africans and their offspring had ability to learn like

3. Americans, if granted freedom.
The abolition movement was politicized. The Native American
Party opposed slavery as well immigrants. Thus, other parties
like Free Soil and Whigs did so. They merge together in 1856
leading to election of Abraham Lincoln as president in United
States (Lysack, 2012).
The abolitionists continued to pressurize the administration of
Lincoln to terminate slavery. It took the 13th Amendment to
lastly end involuntary enslavement in 1865. Even though the
abolitionist movement never attained a truly great following.
Garrison, Douglass and their team never gave on the issue of
slavery and race thus creating to the tension which led to war.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Social
Movement
The Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) social
movement was initiated with the interest of providing the LGBT
with same movements as heterosexual individuals in the society.
(Lysack, 2012). This movement was started to end homophobic,
trans-phobic and bi-phobic attitudes that prevented individual in
this category to live comfortably in the society (Lysack, 2012).
Notable successes of this movement are that it has managed to
achieve legality of gay marriages (Lysack, 2012).
Regardless, this movement continues to have challenges,
especially on the international front, where certain cultures fail
to recognize these laws. For many generations, people
categorized as LGBT were shunned and discriminated
against.This movement intended to overcome these limitations
set on the community members.
It was motivated by the need to end widespread homophobic,
transphobic and biphobic attitudes in the American community
(Lysack, 2012). LGBT people who create social movement to
fight for their right. Currently, LGBT social movements are
organized to include cultural activities.
Like research, street marches, social groups and art as well as
politics, they celebrate their rights. They are proud for who they
keep fighting for their rights. Their political aim is to change

4. laws and policies to gain new rights, protection from harm and
benefits (Pepin-Neff & Wynter, 2019).
There is a rise of conflict within and between LGBT social
actions, arguing who should be included in their movement and
change of strategies (Lysack, 2012). There is discussion on
what magnitude should gays, transgender, lesbians, bisexuals
and intersex individuals are required to merge.
Influential of the gay and lesbians’ movement initially wanted
to hide manly lesbians, transgender persons, feminine gay males
and bisexuals from publicity. This created internal separations
within LGBT societies (Pepin-Neff & Wynter, 2019). They
have adopted politics which offer them freedom and see
themselves as a minor group in the society.
The relationship between the Abolition and LGBT Movements
The two movements are united by a long history of anti-slavery
and marriage laws that did not favor the two minority groups. In
essence, abolitionist’s success had an impact on other minority
groups such as the LGBT community. Also, their successes
emboldened their quest for more rights.
The win against discriminatory laws emboldened the
abolitionists to seek for more discussion about the need to
abolish laws that governed segregation (Lysack, 2012). Hence,
the successes of the two movements inspired a devotion to a
society free from all forms of discriminatio
Conclusion
The campaign movement continues to have challenges,
especially on the international front, where certain cultures fail
to recognize these laws. Each of these social movements has
had an essential role in addressing human rights violations
which is an aspect I would explore more in the final research
process.
For many generations, people categorized as LGBT were
shunned and discriminated against. This movement intended to
overcome these limitations set on the community members. It
was motivated by the need to end widespread homophobic,
transphobic and biphobic attitudes in the American community

5. (Lysack, 2012).
It is interesting to observe these roles that these social
movements played in American history. It is especially
interesting to know how each relates to the social issues that
affected the American public at different times in the country’s
history.
