Slavery has existed from ancient times in almost every area of the world, and classically included the Hebrew captivity in Egypt. It was widely used up to the time of the worldwide European colonies. The first ship bringing African slaves to America docked in Jamestown in 1619. From then on more ships came periodically. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts had less slavery than other states as they were theoretically opposed to it in practice (religious states). New York outlawed slavery in 1827. On September 22, 1862 Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in the Southern States onlyby means of an executive order called the Emancipation Proclamation. This was really a political ploy to weaken the South because Lincoln's North was in the middle of the Civil War. However, on December 18, 1865 the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution was passed freeing the slaves throughout the US.
Slavery was officially and legally ended on January 1, 1863 with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

The American Revolution did not effect slavery. It was the Civil War that had the biggest effect on slavery in the US.
The group of anti-slavery people in the North were called abolitionists. This was a minority group even though most people in the North did not approve of slavery. Nevertheless, a war to end slavery was not a real threat until the US Civil War. The American movement to abolish slavery in the US dates back before the 19th century began. It grew stronger as time passed. With that said, it is important to note that although President Lincoln hated slavery, he never called himself an abolitionist.
