Some of the reasons were economic; some were the actions of the black slaves; some were the actions of white working class people, and some were the actions of the white middle class people. I will explain how each of these things contributed to the abolition of slavery in 1833. Mostly because the Northerners opposed this and also Lincoln abolished it himself.

Abraham Lincoln was opposed to slavery on moral grounds. In a letter written to Joshua Speed in 1855 he stated:

"As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.'."
