To a large extent, the abolitionist movement was not a success in both the Northern or Southern states. The abolitionists demanded an immediate end to slavery in the US. Most Americans believed that such an action would be chaotic and disruptive. Many ant-slavery advocates believed a gradual end to slavery would be a better solution.Some anti-slavery leaders in the North, such as Abraham Lincoln believed that freed slaves would be better off if they were voluntarily moved to a new country. This could be in Africa or Central America. Lincoln supported the relocation program of the American Colonization Society. As US president, Lincoln proposed several gradual plans to the slave holding border states, including compensation to slave owners. No border state accepted any of Lincoln's ideas.

Picture having a cat, a dog, a parrot, and a gerbil. It'd be pretty hard to manage all four, eh? Now imagine having four cats. Much easier! It's the same with monarchs and religion--it's easier to please several people of the same religion than it is to please several people of different religions. Probably the bigger reason, though, is because the monarchs thought that their religion was the only "correct" one.
The result was the First Destruction. This is one of the major themes in many of the books of the Prophets.
Sort of. Several countries within the European Union still hold several colonies and territories around the world, some of which are part of the European Union. However, the EU as a whole is not considered a colonial power.
