Asoka's edicts indicate that:Asoka was motivated to convert to Buddhism after seeing heavy casualties during his conquests. After this transformation he promoted peace and prosperity. He wanted to live a humble life without unnecessary festivals and excess. He did not want to kill living beings and emphasized non-violence. Asoka stressed respect for elders and encouraged all generations to follow in his footsteps. He believed in bettering the lives of others through religious and social tolerance. Asoka considered it his duty to spread the gift of righteousness throughout Asia.
Hope this helps! :)
Even though slavery was abolished, that did not mean the white people would stop treating the black people with a lack of respect. Thus lead to segregation some years later, and then resulted in the civil right movement.
