Have you ever thought that something is really unfair? Then you know how such a feeling can provoke anger and frustration. Some great people in the past have acted upon their anger and frustration, and have tried to make a change, moving towards a fair society. A long time ago, in the 1800s, several people have felt frustrated with the concept of slavery.

Let's go back in time together to see how these people have influenced the reform movement.
