Was segragation practiced all over the US?

Assuming you mean racial segregation, that was primarily practiced in the South, although some in the North were known to be segregationists.Actually, the practice of segregation was commonplace throughout the entire US up through much of the 20th century. In this context, "segregation" refers to the social practice of keeping the races separate.The formal legal mechanisms to enforce segregation were mostly phased out (or never existed) in all states not part of the Old Confederacy between 1880 and 1920. However, informal segregation enforced by social convention still held sway over most of the US up to the 1960s. For instance, a black person entering a diner seen as "whites only" in 1900 New York City would have been refused service and told to leave, but with no legal reprocussions; however, the same situation in Atlanta could have resulted in the black being arrested.

Who were against slavery and wanted it to be illegal?

The abolitionist movement wanted to immediate freedom of all slaves and the ending of racial discrimination. Although abolitionist feelings had been strong during the American revolution and in the Upper South in the 1820's it did not really form a movement until 1830. The Second Great Awakening gave a boost to the movement. In December 1833 60 people of all genders and races met to form the American anti slavery society which denounced slavery as a sin that must be abolished, endorsed nonviolence, and condemned racial prejudice. By 1835 the society had support from African-American communities in the North and had established branches in the free states and flooded the North with antislavery literature, agents, and petitions demanding Congress end all federal support for slavery.

Possibly when the first Cro Magnon met with Homo Sapiens. It may have been earlier in un-recorded history and perhaps it was much later. It has been around, it is a shamefull part of human socialization, it will exist for a long time, it will never be right or correct or honorable.
