It wasn't until much later that movements to end slavery began to gain traction.

Contrary to popular belief, race was NOT the dermining factor of slavery. Slavery begun more as a means of economic benefit, than a system in which whites could feel superior over blacks. The economy of America was deeply dependent on this source of forced, extremely inexpensive labor. Property holders needed someone to work their lands, but they also needed to maximize their production and profit. It was ideal for them to have slaves who required so little to live, yet did so much work. It was not until the South needed a justification for this forced labor that they begun the discussion of race as a factor and reason for slavery.
