Colonies played a crucial role in the transatlantic slave trade by serving as both sources of demand for enslaved labor and as destinations for enslaved individuals. European powers established plantations in their colonies, particularly in the Caribbean and the Americas, where the labor-intensive cultivation of cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton created a high demand for enslaved workers. Colonies facilitated the transportation and trade of enslaved people, often through established trading posts and routes, thereby integrating the slave trade into the broader economic systems of colonial powers. This exploitation significantly contributed to the economic prosperity of the colonies and the European nations that controlled them.
The French played a limited role in the Atlantic slave trade to North America primarily due to their focus on the Caribbean colonies, where sugar production required a larger labor force. Additionally, French colonial policies and economic interests emphasized plantation agriculture in regions like Saint-Domingue (Haiti) rather than the mainland. Furthermore, the competition with other European powers, particularly the British, limited French involvement in North American slave markets. Consequently, their participation in the slave trade was more concentrated in areas with higher economic returns.

William Wilberforce was a British politician and philanthropist who campaigned tirelessly for the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire. John Newton, a former slave ship captain turned abolitionist, influenced Wilberforce with his personal account of the brutality of the slave trade. Together, their efforts led to the passing of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which abolished the transatlantic slave trade in the British Empire.
