The Trans-Atlantic slave trade was abolished in Britain in what year?

A.

1806

B.

1807

C.

1808

D.

1809

Correct answer is B

Britain finally abolished the trans-Atlantic slave trade in 1807, and the United States implemented its ban a year later in 1808. Despite these legal bans, and subsequent acts to suppress the trade in the United States and elsewhere, the illegal trans-Atlantic slave trade continued into the 1860s.
