I've noticed that a number of northern states waited until

I'll give it one bump

North was more industrialized and had less use for slaves. Idk why they waited until after the revolution to abolish slavery, maybe the British govt. wouldn't let them.

probably needed all the labor they could get for the war effort

I feel like the battle over slavery before American independence is much less talked about. Like how did the slave system come about from the 1640's to the 1730's, and why did so few people object to it, and who did?

Its also interesting that European Americans achieved population parity with Native Americans around 1700. Right at the time when the colonies where in lockstep towards making all Africans real estate property.

My understanding is northerners started feeling guilty about it just around the time it was on longer an economically viable system in those areas.

Funny that

Its interesting to consider that the glorious revolution occurs in 1688. It doesnt seem to have much of a legislative impact in regards to slavery but since slavery touched everything im incredibly curious about it. I know very little about nearly 150 years of history and thats fantastically exciting.

Many abolitionists felt an intense religious calling to oppose slavery. Others were intellectuals or businessmen who found the practice repulsive. And more than a few were working class people who simply didn't want to compete against slave labor.

No. The British were taking slaves away from troublemakers and freeing them prior to the war. That helped exacerbate it.

then why wait till there was a war on to make it illegal? See what I mean? There's something I'm missing. I need to find some good books about slaver and abolitionism in colonial america.

Pretty much this.

The abolition of slavery was always an issue in American politics, and it's one of the main causes for the divisions between North and South. When the Democratic Republicans spoke about states' rights, it was almost always spurred by a debate on slavery - they didn't want some rich merchant from Philadelphia or New York ruining the Southern states which were primarily agricultural and used slave labor.

The American Revolution was based on Enlightenment ideas, which were antithetical to slavery.
