Why did amelioration fail?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, amelioration failed because, like, it just didn't work out, you know? It's like when you try to make a recipe and it turns out to be a disaster - sometimes things just don't go as planned. So, yeah, amelioration didn't quite hit the mark this time.

Answer 2

The Amelioration Act failed due to the slave owners. They feared that it would cost them money they did not have due to slaves getting education and food under it.
