The Abolishment Movement started from the Haitian revolution, the most successful slave rebellion that accomplished so much more. The abolishment movement is the freeing and ideal of not having slaves. Before this revolution, 1791, practically every free man had a slave from britain down to Egypt. There were so many slaves that even everyday people had slaves “and petit blancs, who were artisans, shopkeepers and teachers. Some of them also owned a few slaves.” This shows that people whom may not even need them on what they do on a daily basis own slaves (The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) C. Sutherland). When the slaves fought and pillaged the french plantations they freed and recruited the slaves owned by that farmer. The farmers of black descent were liganded to a house and hide these recruits on their land. These ideals carried on weather from civil war tactics to the ideals of black civil rights.
