Birth of the Movement. The modern American abolition movement emerged in the early 1830s as a by-product of religious revivalism popularly known as the Second Great Awakening. Revivalistic tenets led abolitionists to see slavery as the product of personal sin and to demand emancipation as the price of repentance.
The Beginnings Slavery in America began in 1619, meaning that was when slaves began to show up in the original colonies. However, this practice had happened even in the Spanish colonies as early as the 1560s. What has to be remembered is that slaves weren't always the way we think of them.
