Slavery occurred throughout the continent from the period of British colonization, in 1788-1868. specific groups of people including convicts, indigenous Australians and people transported from Asia and the pacific islands were made to labor in conditions which were either unpaid or under unilateral indenture contracts which were commonly not fulfilled.
Well assuming you mean America, and not considering Civil War, I would say the draft of the Constitution Thomas Jefferson want to make slavery illegal, but he needed the southern states approval.
That depends on what you consider to be resistance. Most of them stopped during the 19th century after numerous acts and policies that were widely accepted since everyone wanted to avoid bloodshed. Some would argue that it lasted until the 1920s, when the final acts of attacks were held in countries such as Utah, but this was on a really small scale.
