Fredrick Douglasss contributed to freeing the slaves by being the first colored man to be elected as vice president. By doing this he actually had a voice, and because he was vice president maybe people would start to listen. This was a revolutionary event because now a colored person was actually important and vital to the political system. He was part of the authority.
Harriet Tubman was known as "The Moses of Her People." She was a pioneer for the slaves and helped them escape through the underground railroad. This was a major contribution and a revolutionary act because she was taking matters into her own hands. She is very successful herself because she survived escaping slavery. She was also very brave by risking her life several times to help the slaves by fighting in the Civil War, and also by helping them escape in the underground railroad system.

William Lloyd Garrison contributed to freeing the slaves by spreading the news thought his news paper "The Liberator." This helped because now he was giving the people the understanding of the intensity of slavery and expanding their knowledge to the cruelty that they were provoking.
