One of the main groups in the early 1800s to object morally to slavery was the abolitionists. They believed that slavery was immoral and campaigned for its immediate abolition.

During the 1700s and 1800s, some people saw slavery as a profitable economic system that provided cheap labor for industries such as agriculture and mining.

Slaves escaped from their plantations through methods such as running away, seeking assistance from the Underground Railroad, or participating in organized rebellions like the one led by Nat Turner. Some slaves also found refuge in free states or countries that had abolished slavery.
