The Ohio Anti-Slavery Society (1835-1845) was an abolitionist society established in Zanesville, Ohio by American activists such as Gamaliel Bailey, Asa Mahan, John Rankin, Charles Finney and Theordore Dwight Weld.[1] BackgroundFoundationThe Ohio Anti-Slavery Society was originally created as an auxiliary of the American Anti-Slavery Society.[2] Its first meeting took place in Putnam, Ohio, April 1835[3] and gathered delegates from 25 counties along with four corresponding members from other states including William T. Allen, James G. Birney, James A. Thome and Ebenezer Martin.[4] Later, the society's headquarter moved to Cleveland, Ohio.[2] The SocietyThe society was created with the purpose of ending slavery in the United States. The Ohio Anti-Slavery Society's constitution stated that its objective was the "abolition of slavery throughout the United States and the elevation of our colored brethren to their proper rank as men."[5] Along with traveling lecturers the Society made James G. Birney's newspaper The Philanthropist its official press.[6] During the Cincinnati riots of 1836, pro-slavery citizens protested against the activities of the society and destroyed Birney's printing press.[7] A committee of citizens asked for the closure of the newspaper, however, their request was declined by the Society's executive committee on the basis of " freedom of press".[5] In 1836 - during the Society's first anniversary -, the members voted for a new executive board that included: Gamaliel Bailey, James G. Birney, Isaac Colby, C. Donaldson, James C. Ludlow, Thomas Maylin, John Melendy, and Rees E. Price.[8] Several abolitionists considered the participation of African-Americans in the society unimportant and unnecessary but John Rankin and Gamaliel Bailey incriminated such acts and attitudes.[9] ExpansionIn 1836, the Ohio Anti-Slavery Society grew from 20 chapters to 120 chapter covering every part of the state. By December of the same year, ten thousand Ohioans were part of the Society.[6] DivisionDuring the 1840 anniversary of the society, its adherents passed a resolution that forbade it from becoming a political force. A portion of its members asked to cut their ties with the American anti-slavery society and to keep a neutral approach in their abolitionist work. On June 1841, a meeting was held at Mt. Pleasant, Jefferson county where several members vouched for independent political action. Some of the society's officials held a separate meeting exclusive for political abolitionists who eventually supported the Liberty party.[10] Due to the post-panic economy, the Society and its official publication The Philanthropist started losing their prominence and by September 1841 the presses were ravaged in a two-day riot.[10] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.reverendjohnrankin.org/ripley_anti-slavery|title=Borderlander of Light: Rev.
