Slave Trade Act 1807 | May 01 The abolition of the slave trade refers to the movement and eventual outlawing of the forced movement and enslavement of people, particularly Africans, to the Americas. Key events included the British Slave Trade Act of 1807, which outlawed the trade in the British Empire, and the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, which abolished slavery in the British Empire. The United States also prohibited the African slave trade in 1807. #வரலாற்றில்இன்று #slavetradeabolition | Big

Today in 1807, the U.S. Congress banned further slaves from being imported into the country – but poor enforcement ensured African slaves could be smuggled in. Slavery persisted for nearly six more decades until the 13th Amendment was ratified. | Voices of the Civil Rights Movement
