What is abolition? »Its definition and meaning

Anonim

Abolition is a historically biased term, but from a more generic point of view, abolition means ending, ending, putting an end to a law whose principle is to maintain a hegemony of the strong over the weak. We stated at the beginning of the explanation that it was partially defined by history, because the common use of the term abolition is to refer to the end of the enslavement of people of color by colonies of people of white color. Abolition represents a turning point in history, as it represents freedom in many countries and the independence of a race.

One of the precursors of the abolition of slavery was Abraham Lincoln, he was president of the United States during the period (1861 - 1865), he ended the division of the United States which consisted of the northern states that were of agreed that it was necessary to end slavery and be a free country and the southern states who favored slavery and protected it, since they considered that slave labor produced more for the capitalism that they practiced. Around the world, hundreds of wars and civil uprisings took place, all in order to abolish slavery.

In addition to slavery, there has been talk in history of the abolition of laws that violate human rights declarations, they specify that human beings must live in an environment of equality between all races and cultural customs existing on the planet, in order to respect the precepts established by those who ensure the fulfillment of human rights. Endless atrocities were manifested in the countries involved in world wars, death, rape and slavery, were the main reasons for these wars to give way to victory. The abolition of the evil prescribed in a law is the main current by which the term in question is directed, today, we are waiting for it to be said that this was the century of the abolition of wars, of terrorism and even global warming.
