Abstract

Historical studies confirmed the importance of slave trade to Europe beyond the Atlantic after the discovery of the New World in an attempt to regulate that trade and enact a set of laws and legislations to control the slave system in the Americas. However, with the increase in the intensity of slave trade, human and moral damages and the change of the international market and its requirements, some European advocates opposed slave trade beyond the Atlantic, in many ways and according to the nature of their demands. However, the opposition to slavery did not emerge and did not continue except within the slaves themselves. The resistance of the advocates of the abolition of slavery in Europe and America had resulted in putting an end to this practice thanks to the support it has received. The struggle against slavery was an important component of Africa's policy at the state level and the resistance of the local population level. Europe's resistance to slavery was also important, but it should be placed in the context of a major campaign against slavery. However, Africans themselves are the ones who fought more against this system and paid large fines. Freedom and choice were linked to the policy of abolishing slavery among blacks, and the history of struggles to abolish slavery in America for years has been the subject of interest to a large number of historians who have studied many revolutions and plots.
