At the end of the Atlantic slavery during the nineteenth century surely marked a major and quite rapid turn in the world's social history and in the moral thinking of husband kind. The outcomes of that was the process were surprising and far from the expectations of abolitionists or the newly freed slaves. The former slaves lives did not improve dramatically. Nowhere in the Atlantic world except Haiti. The understandable of former slaves to continue working in plantation agriculture created labor shortage and set in motion. Newly freed people did not achieve anything close to political equality except in Haiti. White planters and farmers retained local authority in the Caribbean. In the southern U.S. a period of "radical reconstruction" happened.
