Explain how abolitionists impacted state institutions and american culture

The main impact that affected how state institutions should work after the Emancipation Proclamation is associated with a series of constitutional amendments promoted by the Congress ending slavery, granting citizenship, and giving black men voting rights, changing the political environment, to the point that for example, by 1872, 1,510 African Americans held office in the southern states.

By the other hand, the impact on northern culture is wide, throughout the spreading of Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, and Lucy Stone ideas. Other authors like James Russell Lowell, influenced popular literature with poetry. In education, the first nation’s experiment in racially integrated coeducation with the founding of Oberlin College and Illinois’s Knox College, a western center of abolitionism are some of the most important pieces of evidence of abolitionism on American culture.
