Explanation:

The American Anti-Slavery Society was an abolitionist society founded in 1833 and dissolved in 1870. The Society was founded in Philadelphia, in 1833, by William Lloyd Garrison and Arthur Tappan. Its growth was rapid: in 1835, it had delegations in 400 locations and, in 1838, in 1,350; approaching 2,000 in 1840. By the end of the decade it already had between 150,000 and 250,000 members, including ex-slaves such as Frederick Douglass, a key personality in society and, frequently, speaker at their meetings, or William Wells Brown. Other outstanding members were Theodore Dwight Weld, Lewis Tappan, Lydia Child, Maria Weston Chapman, Henry Highland Garnet, Samuel Cornish, James Forten, Charles Lenox Remond, Robert Purvis and Wendell Phillips.

In 1839, the association was divided by disagreements about the strategies to follow. One group, led by Williamn Lloyd Garrison, denounced the US Constitution because it tolerated slavery and proposed the creation of a new abolitionist state. Others, such as James Birney, Arthur Tappan, his brother Lewis Tappan and Theodore Weld, considered this position too radical. They argued that the abolition of slavery should be done gradually, by legal means and through religious and political pressure. An additional reason for disagreement was the role of women in the abolitionist movement. While Garrison advocated sharing with them the responsibility of the organization, other anti-slavery believed that women were inferior to men. Fruit of all these tensions, James Birney separated and in 1839 he constituted the Liberty Party, which was the first anti-slavery party in the United States. The Tappan brothers, meanwhile, founded in 1840 the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, closed to the participation of women.
