Did the concept of colonization devide the abolitionist movement and slow down the abolitionist movement. Some but not all of the abolitionist societies in New England supprted the concept of reseting freed slave overseas once slavery was ended. The support was high for colonization until the 1850s. However at the 1836 Anti-Slavery State Convention held in Ann Arbor Michigan the topic never came up. Many Michigan abolitionists supported voting right and equal treatment of freed slaves. In some parts of the nation full rights for any future feed slaves was not a popular belief. Do this help slow the abolitionist movement?
