The movement to end slavery is known as Abolitionism. This movement was started in Europe in 16th century and then gradually moved to America. The issue was of such contentious nature that American civil war was primarily fought on the issue of slavery.
The Gradual Abolitionists were advocates for ending slavery gradually by implementing laws and policies that would gradually phase out the institution of slavery.

This approach contrasted with the immediate abolitionists who called for the immediate and complete end to slavery.
