Originally, slavery was in practice in all of the United States. However, it changed when Abraham Lincoln, a member of the Republican party which had been campaigning against the spreading of slavery farther than it already was. Eleven states broke away from the rest of the United States and formed the Confederate States of America in a rebellion against anti-slavery. But besides from that, anti-slavery was widely accepted throughout the United States.
