Question

How was slavery ended?

Answer 1

Slavery ended when President Abraham Lincoln delivered his iconic Emancipation Proclamation. This would eventually free black people so they could become ordinary citizens and NOT slaves. So basically, slavery was ended all thanks to good ol' Lincoln :)

Answer 2

If you’re looking for what actually started the motion to end slavery (in England), it was a man named John Brown. His method was arguably not the best (he raided a place where lots of black slaves were being kept, which resulted in a few deaths) however it certainly helped abolish slavery.
