antislavery as a principle was far more than just the wish to limit the extent of slavery. most northerners recognized that slavery existed in the south and the constitution did not allow the federal government to intervene there. most northerners favored a policy of gradual and compensated emancipation. after 1849, abolitionists rejected this and demanded that slavery end immediately and everywhere. john brown was the only abolitionist known to have actually planned a violent insurrection, though david walker promoted the idea. the abolitionist movement was strengthened by the activities of free african-americans, especially in the black church, who argued that the old biblical justifications for slavery contradicted the new testament.
