By country A movement for independence from Spain grew in the American colonies in the 19th century, influenced by liberal ideas, such as the abolition of slavery, which Mexico had declared in 1829 by President Vicente Guerrero, Great Britain in 1833, and the United States in 1865 at the end of that country's civil war. One of the first steps in gradual abolition was the Ley de Libertad de Vientres, an 1811 law written by Manuel de Salas of Chile."Manuel de Salas" In Colombia, the Law of wombs was first passed by the government of Antioquia in 1814, but it was not until 1824 that the country accepted URL After years of laws that only purported a partial advancement towards abolition, President José Hilario López  because of the growing popular unrest, pushed Congress to pass total abolition in May 21 of 1851. Former owners were compensated with governmentissued bonuses . In Brazil, the Rio Branco Law, also referred to as "Law of Free Birth", was passed by the Brazilian Parliament on 1871. By the 1870s social tensions were rising due to slavery in Brazil between conservatives versus liberals . As a compromise, Parliament favored the idea of emancipating slaves and enacted a law freeing children born to enslaved women. The "Law of Free Birth" made it so that children born to an enslavedwomen were not enslaved . Slaves eventually were then granted freedom through manumission and later on, emancipation laws that target older slaves.Caulfield, Sueann, et al.
