The British Empire abolished the slave trade in 1807, although slavery itself was not fully abolished until 1833. In the United States, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution formally abolished slavery in 1865.
The end of the international slave trade led to a decline in the influx of new slaves, resulting in a shift towards the domestic slave trade and internal reproduction to sustain the institution of slavery. This shift also impacted the economic viability of slavery in some regions as demand for slaves outstripped supply.Furthermore, abolitionist movements gained momentum as the moral and ethical implications of slavery were increasingly scrutinized on a global scale.
The Slave Trade Law, passed in 1794, made it illegal to engage in the international slave trade. This limited the supply of new enslaved people to the United States, causing the domestic slave population to grow through natural increase and internal slave trading. While it did not end slavery, it altered the dynamics of the slave economy and led to increased breeding and trading of enslaved people within the country.
The abolition of the slave trade did not bring an end to slavery itself because many existing slaves continued to be exploited and enslaved on plantations. Also, the economic system of slavery was deeply ingrained in societies, making it hard to dismantle immediately. Additionally, there was a demand for cheap labor which perpetuated the institution of slavery in different forms even after the slave trade was abolished.
The international slave trade was made illegal in the United States in 1808 under the Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves. However, domestic slavery persisted until the end of the Civil War in 1865 with the ratification of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in the country.
The Atlantic slave trade was abolished due to rising anti-slavery sentiment fueled by humanitarian concerns, economic factors such as industrialization making slavery less profitable, and pressure from abolitionist movements. Additionally, the success of slave uprisings and revolutions prompted governments to take action to end the inhumane practice.
