Slavery died out peacefully in most countries because it was unprofitable, as in the Roman Empire and in Brazil in the 1880s.

The extent of modern slavery is difficult to put an estimate on.<ref>[http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/at-the-edge/2015/07/28/modern-slavery-no-one-knows-the-extent Slavery Didn't End in the 19th Century], ''U.S News and World Report''</ref> Although slavery is outlawed in all countries today and the percentage of people in slavery has diminished in the world, many anti-slavery activists claim there are more people working in slavelike conditions than at any time in history.<ref>[http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/at-the-edge/2015/07/28/modern-slavery-no-one-knows-the-extent Slavery Didn't End in the 19th Century], ''U.S News and World Report''</ref>

Antsley (1979) analyzes the role of religious forces in the formation and expansion of antislavery movements in the United States and Britain and shows the religious influences on the abolition of the British slave trade, the West Indian emancipation, and American antislavery politics. Theological doctrines - Arminianism, redemptionism, sanctification, and postmillenialism - disposed evangelical Protestants to include the slaves among the potentially saved, to hate the institution of slavery, and to strive for earthly reform. Additionally, slavery became a denominational issue, as Anglican Evangelicals, Nonconformists, and Quakers combined to provide the political organization and strategy for abolition and emancipation.<ref>Roger Anstey, "Slavery and the Protestant Ethic," ''Historical Reflections'' 1979 6(1): 157-181. Pp. 157-172.</ref>
