The United States banned the transatlantic slave trade in 1808, although illegal smuggling of slaves continued. The British Empire abolished the slave trade in 1807, and slavery itself was outlawed throughout the British Empire in 1833.
The Slave Trade Act of 1807 banned the transatlantic slave trade, but not slavery itself. Many British slave traders simply redirected their operations to other regions and continued to profit from the illegal trade. Additionally, other countries continued to participate in the slave trade, further undermining the effectiveness of the Act in fully abolishing slavery.

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.
