Logically speaking, one of the key factors in the development of slavery was the need for cheap labor to work the land.

How did the white campaigners abolish slavery?
People like William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson were trying to persuade people to change their minds about the slave trade. However, they campaigned in different ways to different people. Thomas Clarkson was a member of 'The Society for the abolition of the Slave Trade' and he was also a member of parliament. He collected information about the slave trade and about the 'terrible conditions aboard the slave ships.' This included interviewing over 20,000 sailors. He used this information to persuade the working population about how bad the slave trade was. This then ignited protests against slavery across the country, and petitions were collected. In Manchester, over 10,000 people signed a petition in 1788 and 20,000 in 1792. By persuading the working population that slavery was a horrific thing, this forced Parliament and Mp's to abolish slavery. This is because they would want to do what the working population say and think so that they won't get voted out. This was a very effective way of helping to end slavery. Another white campaigner, William Wilberforce, the best, know member of the Society, was also an MP. He made many direct speeches to Parliament about the abolition of slavery. This led to the parliament being persuaded to end slavery and the Slave Trade Act was created in 1807 to abolish slavery in the British Empire, but not necessarily slavery itself. Slavery was still legal in the rest of the world until the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833. THEY WORKED TO ABOLISH THE "SLAVE TRADE". THE CIVIL WAR WAS FOUGHT FOR THE DISMANTLING AND ABOLISHING THE INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY!!!!!

What reason did the Emancipation Proclamation abolish slavery?
It did not abolish slavery. It freed slaves in those states which had not rejoined the Union by January 1, 1863. It also did not free slaves in the border states.

The document, which ended, abolished and made slavery illegal was the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution. The 13th Amendment was ratified and made part of the US Constitution and binding on all states, on December 6, 1865.
Although the Constitution abolished slavery more than a century ago slavery still exists in the world today?
The US Constitution did not initially abolish slavery.

The Bill of Rights (technically part of the Constitution) did abolish slavery however. Slavery does still exist in the world today in the form of Human Trafficking.
Did the emancipation proclamation abolish slavery?
No. It did not abolish slavery anywhere except in places beyond the control of the Union Army (which meant that de facto, nobody was emancipated). The Emancipation Proclamation was made primarily to prevent France and the United Kingdom from siding with the Confederacy in the American Civil War. The Union knew that fighting alongside a country supporting slavery against an anti-slavery country would be untenable for both of those countries.

The Union knew that fighting alongside a country supporting slavery against an anti-slavery country would be untenable for both of those countries.
