You are in a time warp. Slavery ended nearly 60 years ago. You are sure you haven't woken up from deep sleep like Rip Van Winkle or better still Kumbhkaran ? We are a free democratic country with duly elected government by people now in the year 2006..Wake up buddy !

Not much at that time....that took MANY years.\n\nNT was tried and hung for that.\n\nBut it galvanized the Abolitionists....and later would be the Dread Scott Case...SC decided that slaves were not free even in free states , they could not be citizens and that Congress could not bar slavery from a territory. Though some states had passed laws to abolish slavery...I believe Illinois.

In the Civil War, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves under Confederate rule, along with limiting habeas corpus in cases where people protested against the new draft law that was put in effect.

As an African American, I'd like to quote an ex-slave named Frederick Douglass.  He made a speech which in part said:\n\n"What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sound of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants brass fronted impudence; your shout of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanks-givings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy -- a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour."

It was mostly political, the abolition movement was very strong in the north, and obviouslty opposed in the south being it powered their mostly agricultural society...(there weren't a lot of farm Machines back then). Political force threatened to divide the country. Lincoln didn't want the country to divide the country on his watch...(wouldn't have looked too good in the history books). The abolition movement would never have lost steam, the industrial north had the upper hand so reasonably Lincoln sided with the north...that's just a practical view....But he also had a personal reasons for choosing the ending of slavery.

I wont give you a Paragraph but I will get you started,\n\nIn the 1850's and early 1860's abolitionists who had the dream of ending slavery angered many southerners who wanted to keep their lasting traditions.  Many historians believe that the abolistionist movement in the north, along with the book "Uncle Toms Cabin" were major contributing factors to the Civil war.\n\n\nGood Luck!

Read Judith Wellman's THE ROAD TO SENECA FALLS/Univ.of Illinois Press/c2004, which was highly recommended to me. It covers the earliest days of the suffrage movement. You can research these pertinent names online: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, the Abolitionist Movement 1840-1848, Frederick Douglass, the North Star newspaper (he published the Declaration of Women's Sentiments in 1848) Jane and Richard Hunt, the M'Clintock family and Seneca Falls New York history.

No. Slavery is cruel and evil and it takes a very profitable industry to get people to overlook that.

In fact, based in part on the efforts of these Founders, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts abolished slavery in 1780; Connecticut and Rhode Island did so in 1784; New Hampshire in 1792; Vermont in 1793; New York in 1799; and New Jersey in 1804. Furthermore, the reason that the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa all prohibited slavery was a federal act authored by Rufus King (signer of the Constitution) and signed into law by President George Washington which prohibited slavery in those territories.\n\nIt is not surprising that Washington would sign such a law, for it was he who had declared:\n\n\n"I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it [slavery]."\n      -George Washington
