Slavery was the act of using African-American people to work in harsh conditions with little to no pay, these people did work such as cleaning, picking cotton fields, being assistants, and doing farm work. A few notable people that abolished slavery was Martin Luther King Jr., Fredrick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, John Brown, and some more. They did this through peaceful protests, escaping with inside jobs(people who would free them when there was no supervision), and escaping while doing work.
The Babington Plot was a plan to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I (Mary Stuart's cousin) in 1586. The plan was discovered by Sir Francis Walsingham and was used to entrap Mary (Queen of Scots) and led to her execution.
