Compromise of 1850
The slave trade was the most profitable thing about slavery. Actually owning slaves was not terribly profitable and most slave owners were deeply in debt. But the business of selling slaves, whether they were grabbed from Africa or purchased or bartered in the Caribbean, was highly profitable. A large number of people made their living in the slave trade, transporting, auctioning, guarding, financing, insuring, etc. Southerners were also aware that Great Britain had first banned the slave trade, then followed up by banning slavery entirely. They felt that any movement to limit slavery, slave trading, slave states, etc., threatened their whole way of life.
The transatlantic slave trade was officially outlawed in the early 19th century. The United States banned the importation of slaves in 1808, and Britain passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807. However, the practice of slavery itself continued in many places until the mid-19th century.
