Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Société de la morale chrétienne, a Christian philanthropie society which flourished during the last décade of the Restoration, is primarily known as a group which neglected the issue of slave emancipation while helping to launch the nineteenth century movement against the French slave trade.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the earliest of these were organized by the Society of Friends, or Quakers. The very first one, The Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, had formed in 1774 and helped to pass Pennsylvania’s Gradual Abolition Act of 1780, the first anti-slavery legislation in the United States.

Detailed explanation-3: -In December 19833, the three most active antislavery organizations, the Philadelphia Quakers, the New England Garrisonians, and the New York Reformers, met with freed blacks to form an organization called the America Anti-Slavery Society. Abolitionists initially focused their efforts on church members and clergymen.

Detailed explanation-4: -The abolitionist movement was an organized effort to end the practice of slavery in the United States. The first leaders of the campaign, which took place from about 1830 to 1870, mimicked some of the same tactics British abolitionists had used to end slavery in Great Britain in the 1830s.

Detailed explanation-5: -In France, on 4 February 1794 (16 Pluviôse Year II in the French Revolutionary Calendar), the National Convention enacted a law abolishing slavery in the French colonies. Yet this was not followed up with any real effect and Napoleon Bonaparte repealed the law as First Consul in 1802.
