Slavery has been practiced by man since ancient times, for instance it was common in the Roman Empire and is referred to in The Bible.
Since then mankind has come to realise that slavery is abhorrent and gradually it has been made illegal all over the world. The last country to make it illegal was Mauritania in 1981.
While slavery is now illegal everywhere, slavery or practices akin to it continue today in many countries throughout the world.
Slavery has been legal in various forms for a significant portion of human history. In the United States, slavery was legally practiced from the early colonial period (early 1600s) until the Civil War in 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified, officially ending the institution of slavery.

Kansas became a battleground over slavery because of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed the territories to decide the issue of slavery through popular sovereignty.
