Christian fundamentalists responsible for anti slavery movement :
‘The anti-slavery movement was spearheaded by people who would today be
called “the religious right” and its organization was created by
conservative businessmen. Moreover, what destroyed slavery in the
non-Western world was Western imperialism.’ ‘Nothing could be more jolting
and discordant with the vision of today’s intellectuals than the fact
that it was businessmen, devout religious leaders and Western
imperialists who together destroyed slavery around the world.’
Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire’s Slaves by Adam Hochschild (2005).

Christianity and followers of Jesus Christ ( True followers ) ensured
that slavery was abolished . It took more than man and his claims of
enlightenment to finally make slavery illegal , it took The Word of God
and those who proclaimed The Words of Him who created all things .
