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.

Why did the South fear the slave trade would be banned?

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.
