Abolitionism. Abolitionism is a movement to end slavery, whether formal or informal. In Western Europe and the Americas, abolitionism is a historical movement to end the African and Indian slave trade and set slaves free. An abolitionist movement only started in the late 18th century, however, when English and American Quakers began to question the morality of slavery. Quaker is a member of the Religious Society of Friends, a Christian movement founded in 1650 and devoted to peaceful principles. English and American Quakers began to question the morality of slavery.

Though anti-slavery sentiments were widespread by the late 18th century, the colonies used slave labour in the French, English and Portuguese territories in the West Indies; South America; and the Southern United States. The first attempts to end slavery in the British/American colonies came from Thomas Jefferson and some of his contemporaries. Despite the fact that Jefferson was a lifelong slaveholder, he included strong anti-slavery language in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, but other delegates took it out. Benjamin Franklin, also a slaveholder for most of his life, was a leading member of the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery, the first recognized organization for abolitionists in the United States. 1743-18261706-1790

The period between 1765 and 1783 is known as The American Revolution, which was a political upheaval [ep'hi:v(ə)l]. In these years the Thirteen American Colonies rejected the British monarchy and aristocracy, overthrew the authority of Great Britain, and founded the United States of America. After the American Revolution the United States were established, and the northern states, beginning with Pennsylvania in 1780, passed legislation aimed at abolishing slavery during the next two decades. The further development of the abolition movement is observed in the 19th century.

The American Anti-Slavery Society (1833–1870) was an abolitionist society founded by William Lloyd Garrison. By 1838, the society had 1,350 local charters with around 250,000 members. Abraham Lincoln /ˈeɪbrəhæm ˈlɪŋkən/ the 16th President of the United States (1809 – 1865) In 1860 Abraham Lincoln was elected president. And in April 1861 The American Civil War broke out . On 1 January 1863 Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was issued an executive order of the U. S. government, changing the legal status of 3 million slaves in designated areas of the Confederacy from "slave" to "free".

It was originally formed by seven slave states – South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas – in the Lower South region of the United States whose regional economy was mostly dependent upon agriculture, particularly cotton, and a plantation system that relied upon the labor of African-American slaves. The Confederate States, officially the Confederate States of America, was a confederation of secessionist ([si'seʃ(ə)nist] сепаратист) American states existing from 1861 to 1865. Each Confederate state declared its secession from the United States following the November 1860 election of Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln to the U. S. presidency on a platform which opposed the expansion of slavery.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. The 13th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution took effect in December 1865 and finally ended slavery throughout the United States. It also abolished slavery among the Indian tribes, including the Alaska tribes that became part of the U. S. in 1867."We the People" is the opening phrase of the Preamble to the United States Constitution

Abolitionism in Literature. Towards the middle of the 19th century slavery was discussed everywhere. It was at this time that the famous novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" appeared though the author, Harriet Beecher- Stowe, herself did not belong to the Society of Abolitionists. The abolition literature was very pathetic in style. It is considered to be a part of romantic literature. At the same time this literature developed the American social novel by introducing many realistic details about laws and customs of that time.
