who or what stoped slavery in america?

Answer 1

Economics...that's actually what the Civil War boiled down to, as well. The Northern States had long since embraced the technological advances of their day (hence their having the time to stand back and see how reprehensible slavery was) The South was still pretty dependent on physical slave labor, and didn't really embrace technologies as readily. But even if the south had won that war, slavery would have gone away eventually because it would have simply become too expensive compared to the technology...

Answer 2

Abraham Lincoln ended slavery in America. Ever heard of the Civil War? America almost split into two countries once. It was a very bad time. A lot of people died. But one good thing came out of it. The slaves were finally free. You should look it up in an encyclopedia or a history book. You'd get a lot more information there.

Answer 3

Slavery SUPPOSEDLY ended during the War and Freedom period (1861 to 1876). Slaves who did not enlist in the Civil War chose to stay in a slavery type environment, not because they didn't want to be free, they were afraid of what would happen to them once they left the plantations so they bacame sharecroppers on southern plantations where most of them were born and lived all their lives (a new form of slavery). In reality slavery actually ended when Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the US - A New Deal - A New Life (1932 -1940) because Southern Blacks (including sharecropprs) faced with racial oppression in the south migrated north in hope of securing positions in the major industrial centers to improve their economic and social opportunties.

Answer 6

Complicated question. Slavery was ultimately stopped by several things. The emancipation proclimation legally ended the practice, but it was also becomming economically unfeasable at the same time. There was a lot of social pressure placed on slave owners, but the economics of keeping large numbers of slaves played far more of a role than Uncle Tom's Cabin...
