Line 140:
Abolitionism has been fused with both [[File:LeftAbolition.png]] left-wing and [[File:RightAbolition.png]] right-wing theory. [[File:LeftAbolition.png]] Leftist abolitionists believe [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] has allowed and in large-part originated in [[File:Slavery.png]] slavery in the past and will enable slavery in the future, while comparing modern-day working conditions to slave labor, trapping people in poverty. [[File:RightAbolition.png]] 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 [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] {{PBW|Soviet Unionball|The Soviet Union}} and [[File:NeoComBall.png]] {{PBW|Warsaw Pactball|other Warsaw Pact members}}.
Abolitionism has a complicated relationship with [[File:Religious.png]] religion. [[File:Christy.png]] Christian institutions have historically been used to defy prejudice and slavery while in other times being used to justify it. [[File:Augustinianism.png]] [[Christian Theocracy|Saint Augustine]] described it as resulting from sin and many of the first abolitionist organisations and activists were Christian, such as [[File:JohnBrown.png]] John Brown. Other examples of historical Christian opposition to slavery could be:
*Moses freeing the Hebrew people
*Deuteronomy 23:15-16
Line 147 ⟶ 146:
*Quakers
*Pope Benedict XIV, Pius VII, Pius IX, Gregory XVI and Leo XIII
Slavery and [[File:IslamicAbolition.png]] abolitionism are also an extensive topic within [[File:Muslim.png]] Islam. Throughout history, many Muslim states practiced slavery with the first country to abolish slavery being [[File:Cball-Tunisia.png]] {{PBW|Tunisiaball|Tunisia}}, closely followed by [[File:Cball-Ottomanism.png]] {{PBW|Ottomanball|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.

===[[File:
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 [[File:Calvinist_Theocracy.png]] [[Protestant Theocracy|Puritan]] family which would profoundly influence his views. He believed that God was using him to act as a new [[File:JewTheo.png]] [[Jewish Theocracy|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 [[File:Cball-CSA.png]] [[Confederalism|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.
