In 1808, the United States officially banned the importation of enslaved Africans, which marked a significant turning point in the fight against slavery. This law reflected growing abolitionist sentiments and was a response to increasing moral and economic arguments against the slave trade. Although the domestic slave trade continued, the ban on imports was a crucial step towards limiting the expansion of slavery in America. It also galvanised abolitionist movements that would gain momentum in the following decades.
