when did the salve trade end
Explain it like I'm 16
The slave trade ended at different times in different countries. Britain abolished its transatlantic slave trade in 1807, but slavery itself continued in most British colonies until 1833. The United States ended its legal slave trade in 1808 and abolished slavery in 1865.
A real-world example
In Britain, the 1807 Act made it illegal for British ships to transport enslaved people across the Atlantic. The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 later ended slavery in most British colonies.

Why this matters
Knowing the dates helps distinguish between ending the slave trade and ending slavery, which were separate events.
