Best Answer

During a period of time, the colonial government of Georgia abolished it until a revolt from its people (this revolt is not that American Revolution). After the American Revolution, slavery started getting less intense. Some time during Abraham Lincoln's presidency, some states abolished slavery and became illegal after the Confederacy's defeat.
