        abstract = {Abolitionist literature has long served as a powerful tool for educating and mobilizing individuals against the horrors of slavery. Abolitionist literature not only served as a vehicle for advocating political change but also as a tool for empowering enslaved individuals. It also helped in fostering solidarity among diverse social movements. Through its potent combination of personal narrative, moral conviction, and political critique, abolitionist literature remains a significant force in the historical fight for human rights and equality, continuing to inspire modern movements for justice and freedom.

William Still's compilation, "The Underground Railroad" illustrates poignant narratives that illuminate the bravery and resilience of enslaved individuals striving for freedom. William Still, a prominent African American abolitionist and conductor on the Underground Railroad, compiled and published "The Underground Railroad" in 1872. It documents the stories of numerous individuals who escaped from slavery, often at great personal risk, and found refuge and assistance through the clandestine network of routes and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. The present article titled, “Abolitionist Literature: A Study of The Underground Railroad by William Still” critically analyses the significant aspects of abolitionist literature - anti-slavery movement, search for freedom, escape from oppression, sense of disillusionment, race and identity.},
