It is probably as old as slavery itself. Slaves have probably always opposed slavery, and historical records of their efforts to free themselves go back at least to the ancient Greeks. The Biblical story of Exodus implies a strong criticism of slavery. Opposition coming from the group of people who owned slaves is harder to document, because it was not always politically possible to express it, and any written denunciation of slavery stood a good chance of being destroyed as subversive to the slavery system. But we have discussions of the immorality of slavery at least as far back as Latin literature (see Pliny, for example).

The Atlantic slave trade in the 1700s was characterized by a rapid expansion driven by the demand for labor in plantations, particularly in the Americas, and was marked by high mortality rates during the Middle Passage. By the 1800s, while the transatlantic slave trade continued, it faced increasing moral opposition and legal restrictions, culminating in several countries abolishing the trade. Additionally, the focus shifted more towards internal slave markets and the consolidation of slavery within the United States, as opposed to the large-scale importation seen in the 1700s.
