The Spanish government set out a abolitionist law in 1517, but this law was not widely enforced. Later in the 17th century the Quackers also tried to abolish slavery. In America the Abolitionist movement started in Pennsylvania in 1780. The United States finally abolished slaver in 1865.

Answer 4

This is a wide open question that can be answered in several ways, partly because hindsight is always 20-20 vision.

Many historians have written that the US Civil War was the completion of the American Revolutionary War. To a large degree their arguments make sense, helped again by hindsight.

Looking back, the 21 year grace period that was negotiated in order to have the Constitution ratified was clearly not a solution. In that compromise, importing new slaves would end in 21 years.

Speculation on the answer would take allot of time, over 60,000 + books have been written about the War. With that in mind, I'll lend my own ideas & answer to this question, which is from a novice at best and what comes next are my opinions..

Firstly, there was no "movement" to bring about a Civil War. It became what it was due to the lack of understanding by so many politicians, statesmen, rank & file abolitionists, and newspaper editors.

Historians who look back on the war all have a variety of opinions as why it came to the sacrifice of over 620,000 men, and all for nothing. That's allot of blood to pay, for what seems now an issue that wise men could have negotiated.

The civil war came about because it was not seen that economically, using forced labor over a long period of time was an unworkable economic system.

Whatever it took, what soever at all, the Constitution should have gradually phased out slavery. 40 years certainly would have been enough time to do it.

I have no other answer than that.

The Abolitionist Movement was an attempt to put an end to slavery in the US. It began to grow rapidly around 1820 when newspapers and pamphlets began being distributed about it.
