The Bible describes "man-stealing" (slave-trading) as a horrible sin, which may be the first recorded attack against the institution of slavery. Papal declarations began prohibiting and regulating slavery in various limited ways in the Holy Roman Empire, and in the 18th century the Protestants began the movements to criminalize all slavery. Western influence slowly forced most of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa to criminalize slavery. In summary, the anti-slavery movement is basically a Christian movement, that fortunately caught on and became a universally held value.
