To a large extent, the abolitionist movement was not a success in both the Northern or Southern states. The abolitionists demanded an immediate end to slavery in the US. Most Americans believed that such an action would be chaotic and disruptive. Many ant-slavery advocates believed a gradual end to slavery would be a better solution.Some anti-slavery leaders in the North, such as Abraham Lincoln believed that freed slaves would be better off if they were voluntarily moved to a new country. This could be in Africa or Central America.
Lincoln supported the relocation program of the American Colonization Society.
As US president, Lincoln proposed several gradual plans to the slave holding border states, including compensation to slave owners. No border state accepted any of Lincoln's ideas. This was unfortunate as he offered several sound solutions to gradually end slavery.
