"The sin of slavery is one of which it may be said that without the shedding of blood there is no remission."
Abolitionism or Anti-Slavery is a non-quadrant political ideology that is against slavery. According to his philosophy, all people, regardless of their ethnic origin, are free and should not be at the mercy of other people.
History
WIP
Beliefs
Abolitionism, as already mentioned, opposes slavery and believes that it would be something inhuman, as it believes that humans are born free. It is culturally ambiguous, as there are as many conservative abolitionists as there are progressives, although most slave regimes are culturally reactionary. Most oppose colonialism and racism, because of slavery in the Americas and Africa, with many (especially in Latin America and Africa) associating abolitionism with anti-imperialism, although there is debate about this. Abolitionism was influenced by Enlightenment and Classic Liberal ideals (Adam Smith, John Locke (debated), James Garfield and others) and by some Judeo-Christian examples. Abolitionism is also economically neutral, as the only economic position in fact is opposition to the slave economy, which can range from socialist to capitalist.
Abolitionism has been fused with both left-wing and
right-wing theory.
Leftist abolitionists believe
Capitalism has allowed and in large-part originated in
slavery in the past and will enable slavery in the future, while comparing modern-day working conditions to slave labor, trapping people in poverty.
Rightist abolitionists on the other hand hold that the free market and liberal ideas are necessary for the abolition of slavery and compare slavery to conditions in Marxist-Leninist countries such as
The Soviet Union and
other Warsaw Pact members.
Abolitionism has a complicated relationship with religion.
Christian institutions have historically been used to defy prejudice and slavery while in other times being used to justify it.
Saint Augustine described it as resulting from sin and many of the first abolitionist organisations and activists were Christian, such as
John Brown. Other examples of historical Christian opposition to slavery could be:
- Moses freeing the Hebrew people
- Deuteronomy 23:15-16
- Isaiah 58:6-9
- Quakers
- Pope Benedict XIV, Pius VII, Pius IX, Gregory XVI and Leo XIII
Slavery and abolitionism are also an extensive topic within
Islam. Throughout history, many Muslim states practiced slavery with the first country to abolish slavery being
Tunisia, closely followed by
The Ottoman Empire. The Qu'ran itself speaks in length on slavery, and slavery was a key part of the early Arabic world. Many prophets oppose slavery using intepretations from the Qu'ran, such as the condemnation of anyone who enslaves a free man.
Variants
Free Soilerism
The Free Soil Party was a single-issue abolitionist party that existed from 1848 to 1854. It was the successor of the
Liberty Paty made up of many
Democrats and
Whigs who were unhappy with the approval of the Democratic Nominees in regard to the expansion of slavery into newly gained Mexican lands.
In the 1848 presidential election, The Free Soil Party ran under former president
Martin van Buren and won an impressive 10.8% of the popular vote, beating out every other third party behind this point. Many rejoined the Democrat and Whig parties right after, however throughout it's lifetime it kept an influence in the senate and got just under 5% of the popular vote in the 1952 presidential election (ran under
John P. Hale) before merging with
The Republican Party in 1854.
John Brown Thought
John Brown was a radical abolitionist who fought in Bleeding Kansas and led an unsuccessful slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry. Brown was raised in a Puritan family which would profoundly influence his views. He believed that God was using him to act as a new
Moses who would lead another race of people out of bondage. Brown believed that violence was necessary to end slavery since decades of peace had failed. Brown was a leader of abolitionist forces in Bleeding Kansas, a state level civil war to determine whether Kansas would be a slave or free state. Brown and his sons killed five slavery supporters in the Pottawatomie massacre and would lead abolitionist forces at the Battle of Black Jack and the Battle of Osawatomie.
In October 1859, Brown led a raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia hoping to start a slave rebellion that would engulf the entire South. The plan however was poorly executed leading to Brown's capture by Robert E. Lee. Brown was tried for treason and was executed by hanging. His actions were a huge contributing factor to the Civil War with Southerners viewing him as a madman and terrorist while Northerners viewed him as a martyr and hero.
