The Abolitionist campaign started after the American Revolutionary war when Northern States passed the anti-slavery laws through passage of constitution of Vermont in 1777. Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey followed suit soon after. By 1804 all Northern states had abolished slavery and only Southern states that had economic interest tied with slavery resisted.
