In 1808, the law forbidding the foreign slave trade that had been signed into law by Thomas Jefferson in 1807, went into effect. A stipulation in the constitution that prohibited the end of the trade until 1808, prohibited acting on this for another year. The new laws were somewhat loosely enforced with Britain â??deportingâ?? slaves into the United States until 1860 and it remaining a viable trade in Britain in the 19th century.
