Political division over slavery was temporarily resolved by theCompromise of 1850 which sought to divide new territories between slave and free states. However, the status of Kansas was left unresolved, producing bloody clashes between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers. In 1860, the election of Abraham Lincoln as President on a program of limiting slavery led to the secession of Southern States and the outbreak of the US Civil War. Although Lincoln initially disclaimed any intention to interfere with slavery, the progress of the war produced the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in Southern states still in revolt, and ultimately the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in December 1865, which ended slavery in the United States.

The Slavery Abolition Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom abolished slavery throughout the British Empire in 1833. This was as a result of the campain lead by William Wilberforce.

In the United States, slavery was brought to end by the emancipation proclamation of President Lincolon and Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which ended slavery in the United States in 1865.

However slavery is still an everyday reality worldwide.

Slavery was brought to an end in the United States because the government outlawed it, and also because the north had won the war.
