well, in the U.S, after the revolutionary war had been won and the articles of confedoration established, The Northern states had outlawed slavery and wanted the southern states to do the some. The southern states refused to free their slaves because they strongly relied on them to work on their plantations, and if they freed them they would go bankrupt. The problem was't officially dealt with until 1801, but slavery still continued in other countries.
