When William Wilberforce and the abolitionists began their fight against the slave trade in the late 18th century, a significant portion of Britain's economy was intertwined with it. It is estimated that by the early 1800s, around 15% of Britain's economic activity was linked to the slave trade and the profits generated from the colonies. Key industries, such as sugar and textiles, heavily relied on slave labor, making the abolitionist movement a challenging endeavor due to the economic interests at stake.

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.
England began to dominate the transatlantic slave trade in the late 17th century, particularly from the 1700s onwards. By the 18th century, British ships were responsible for transporting a significant portion of enslaved Africans to the Americas. This dominance continued until the early 19th century when the British Parliament abolished the slave trade in 1807.
It was abolished by the Slavery Abolishion act in 1833.
