The abolition of slavery in Europe was driven by a combination of moral, economic, and political factors. Enlightenment ideals emphasized human rights and individual freedom, leading to increased public opposition against the inhumanity of slavery. The economic shift from agrarian economies to industrialization reduced reliance on slave labor, while abolitionist movements and campaigns raised awareness and mobilized public sentiment. Key legislative changes, such as the British Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, formalized the end of slavery across various European nations.
In the 1500s, the concept of slavery evolved significantly with the rise of the transatlantic slave trade. Initially, slavery in Africa was often linked to debt or warfare, with enslaved individuals sometimes able to integrate into their captor's society. However, European demand for labor in the Americas led to a more brutal, racially based system of chattel slavery, where individuals were viewed as property. This shift entrenched racial hierarchies and dehumanized enslaved Africans, fundamentally altering the nature of slavery and its implications for both continents.

they bagan it in Europe but they didn't invent slavery, this concept existed in far more ancient civilizations
Slavery in early medieval Europe was relatively common. It was widespread at the end of antiquity. The etymology of the word slave comes from this period, the word sklabos meaning Slav. Slavery declined in the Middle Ages in most parts of Europe as serfdom slowly rose, but it never completely disappeared. It persisted longer in Southern and Eastern Europe. In Poland slavery was forbidden in the 15th century; it was replaced by the second enserfment. In Lithuania, slavery was formally abolished in 1588.Throughout this period slaves were traded openly in most cities, including cities as diverse as Marseilles,Dublin and Prague, and many were sold to buyers in the Middle East. The town of Caffa in the Crimeawas called the capital of the medieval slave trade, but an overland route to Caliphate of Córdoba took pagan and dualist Slavs from Kiev through Lviv and Prague, at that time the borderlands of Christianity, this arduous land route competing with the North-South route by river which led to the Black Sea.

William Wilberforce played a significant role in the abolishment of slavery in England during the 1800s. He created petitions signed by hundreds of thousands of brits who believed in the abolishment of slavery, this petition was monumental in Wilberforce's success. Women also helped the abolishment of slavery in England. They worked a long side Wilberforce encouraging him to continue his work and demand more rights for these slaves. These women were the people who made the abolishment of slavery happen as fast as it did because they weren't content with "gradual abolition" which is what the house of commons granted Wilberforce.
I do believe the abolishment of slavery in history is when the president signed a bill that freed the majority if not all African -American slaves. This particular statement tells that Slavery should no longer be in an existence in the United States of America, due to the US Constitution.
