'''Abolitionism''' was British and American movement to end the institution of [[slavery]] and the worldwide slave trade. It originated with the [[Quakers]] in Briatin and the US around 1750, and attracted mostly evangelicals.  The '''abolitionists''' were those who were actively against slavery. The term usually refers to the abolitionist movement in the [[United States]] and in [[Britain]].  The international slave trade was made illegal around 1810, and enforced by the British Navy.  All the northern states in the U.S. abolished slavery 1777-1803, and the British Empire abolished it in the 1830s in its Caribbean colonies and Canada.

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