Slavery Abolition
The tragedy of the human race stopped around 1780 to 1890 as a transformation of human affairs as slavery was largely ended in many parts of the world. The slavery was mainly stopped because it was considered as a crime in the sight of God by those religious believers. Later, people realized that slavery was not only morally wrong but also a politically unwise. The different kind of thinking like secular, religious, economic came together to a abolitionist movement which was most powerful in England.Abolitionist movement was a movement where people protest and pressure the government for stope slave trade. In the late eighteenth century, the movement was so successful and gained many supporters. Some protest include boycotts of slave-product and numerous petitions to Parliament. But, the slave trade still continued in many part of Europe and both European and African, who together shipped million of slaves to Cuba and Brazil even after the trade had been declared illegal. The end of the Atlantic slavery during nineteenth century was the turning point in the slave trade. But, the slave who were freed, did not live the life that others live. They suffered a lot even after they were freed.
