Because if you end the source in which slavery comes from, then you can eventually end all of slavery.
Yes, the slave trade was indeed prohibited in the District of Columbia in 1850 through the passage of the Compromise of 1850. However, slavery itself remained legal in the District until it was abolished with the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865.
In 1807, the Parliament of the United Kingdom introduced the Slave Trade Act, abolishing any form of slave trade in the British Empire, including in England. The Act did not outlaw slavery itself and slavery on English land remained legal until the Slavery Abolition Act 1833.
What parts of Europe still had slavery when Christopher Columbus started the slave trade to the Americas?
TRUE
William Wilberforce recognised that the real problem lay with the slave traders who were only out to make money. Slavery itself was a cultuural institution, and he had no problem with slaves who were well-treated. The slave trade, however, reduced these people to mere animals, chaining them, caging them in ships for months on end. The trade itself was where the real cruelty lay. Wilberforce could not abide cruelty in any way. In fact, he was a driving force in the movement to establish the first anti-cruelty laws for animals.
The Slave Trade Act, which was passed on March, 25, 1807, abolished the slave trade in the United Kingdom. The act abolished slave trade in the British Empire, but not slavery itself.
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.

The 1807 Slave Trade Act was a law passed by the British Parliament that abolished the transatlantic slave trade. It made it illegal to engage in the business of trading enslaved people between Africa, the Americas, and the Caribbean. The act was a significant step towards the eventual abolition of slavery in the British Empire.
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 abolition of the slave trade contributed to economic disruptions in regions dependent on slavery. It also led to social upheaval as former slave traders and owners had to adjust to new labor systems. Additionally, it did not immediately end slavery itself, as many individuals continued to be enslaved even after the trade was abolished.

Slave trade in Britain was outlawed in 1808 when Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act of 1807. However, this did not slavery altogether. The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 abolished slavery in most British Empires.
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.
No. Slavery and the slave trade had been going on in Africa for centuries before the Atlantic Slave trade came into being.
