What is the situation with the ships flying American flags that William Wilberforce came up with to abolish the slave trade?
This situation involved introducing a bill to ban British subjects from aiding or participating in the slave trade to the French colonies, It was a smart move, as the majority of the ships were flying American flags, though manned by British crews and sailing out of Liverpool. The Foreign Slave Trade Act was quickly passed and the tactic proved successful. The new legislation effectively prohibited two-thirds of the British slave trade. In the long run, many MPs who had benefited from the slave trade lost their financial support, and ultimately their position in parliament. This opened the way for Wilberforce to make another attempt to pass an Abolition bill, when all previous attempts had failed.
