The Enlightenment ideals of reason, equality, and individual rights influenced the abolition movement by challenging traditional beliefs about slavery and emphasizing the inherent worth and dignity of all individuals. Enlightenment thinkers such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau provided intellectual foundations for the abolitionist argument that ultimately led to the global movement to end the transatlantic slave trade and slavery itself.
Albert Barnes believed that more people were coming to think that slavery was wrong due to the spread of education and knowledge, which helped to enlighten people on the moral principles that should guide human behavior. This, in turn, led to a greater recognition of the inherent injustice and immorality of slavery.
Nonviolence was ultimately a more effective strategy for eliminating slavery. Movements like the Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrated the power of peaceful resistance in bringing about systemic change and ending institutionalized slavery. Violence tended to escalate conflicts and hinder long-term progress towards abolition.

The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was the only successful slave rebellion that led to the abolition of slavery in Haiti and the formation of the first independent black-led nation in the Western Hemisphere. Slavery played a significant role in shaping Haiti's social, economic, and political landscape.
