Slavery was abolished in the Caribbean in different years depending on the specific country. For example, in British colonies such as Jamaica and Barbados, slavery was abolished in 1834 with the Slavery Abolition Act.

Other Caribbean countries had varying abolition dates based on their colonial histories and legislative processes.
Britain abolished slavery throughout the British Empire.William Roscoe was one of the best-known abolitionists. He wrote poetry and leaflets in favor of abolition. Opinion in Liverpool was generally pro-slavery and like other abolitionists, Roscoe tended to work behind the scenes rather than openly declaring his views.An active counter campaign was started by those who profited from slavery. The West India lobby of plantation owners and their supporters in the British Parliament fought abolition. Although ultimately unsuccessful, they gained 20 million pounds compensation for plantation owners for the loss of their slaves. Ex-slaves were not compensated.Despite the abolition of slave trading by Britain and other countries from 1807 onwards, illegal trading continued for a further 60 years. About a quarter of all Africans who were enslaved between 1500 and 1870 were transported across the Atlantic in the years after 1807. Much of this illegal trade was to the sugar plantations of Cuba and Brazil.
There are a number of different factors which led to the abolition of the slave trade, not just individual people: - Actions of campaigners (e.g. William Wilberforce an MP, Olaudah Equiano a former slave and many more) - Slave Rebellions and Revolts - slaves started to rebel (e.g. Haitians rebelled and Haiti became the first island to be governed by former black slaves) - Economic - the slave trade lost its value. Because of the rebellions, it became harder for farmers to produce things the British wanted as usually, the slaves would burn the fields. This drove production prices up as there was not as much of the stuff to be sold. Eventually, people found cheaper ways to get their hands on what they wanted and places such as Cuba and Brazil had better prices for trading. - Popular Protest- the public wrote many petitions to government/ parliament to make them change their laws However, while these all are reasons for the abolition, many British people see William Wilberforce as the "main man"
