Who stopped abolition?

Abolition movements were met with resistance from various groups, including pro-slavery politicians, plantation owners, and some segments of the general public who benefitted economically from slavery. In the United States, the end of the Civil War and the subsequent Reconstruction era saw both advancements and setbacks for abolitionist goals, with the rise of Jim Crow laws and systemic racism undermining the progress made. However, the abolition of slavery was ultimately codified with the 13th Amendment in 1865, despite ongoing societal resistance.
