Slavery led Americans and Europeans to become involved with Africa by decreasing their population. The Africa's population decreased as the amount of people being put into slavery increased. Also, the transatlantic slave trade affected the African society through the internal slave trade. Antislavery led to Americans and Europeans to become involved with Africa through their crusades. Antislavery reformers wanted to influence the African American into Christianity. The various efforts by antislavery groups began to impact Africa in the first half of the nineteenth century. The main goal of antislavery groups was to initiate a new African economy by substituting new peaceful trade in tropical goods for the slave trade. Their main goals were to develop free trade and spread Christianity.
When the US Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, it angered antislavery groups because they believed it would expand the institution of slavery in new States and Territories. That was because political leaders such as Senator Stephen Douglas and others believed in what was called popular sovereignty. This called for a vote among citizens as to whether slavery would be allowed in a given territory or State. The pro-slavery movement from the South was strong, thus abolitionists were concerned about the spread of this institution. The Dred Scott case was decided by the US Supreme Court. It was a long written decision that basically stated the slaves were property and that slavery was legal under the US Constitution. This was a blow to the antislavery movement.
