when did the slave trade end?

Question

ended in the caribbean stop by lord Pitt 1834

Answer 1

Do you know something I do not know? What do you mean it has ended? What I can not understand if the Afro-Americans here in the States are so anti-slavery why aren't they fighting slavery in the modern world? Is it all right to complain about what happened a 140 years ago but you won't take any steps to prevent from happening today?

You say you didn't know about modern slavery? Well, now you do, anyone who has had such a issue with slavery as the Afro-Americans should be studying the issue and organizing bans, boycotts and marches. Lets' start with the number two (2) area that being Chocolate, you should ensure that your family, friends and school boycott Chocolate that means candy, ice cream and hot chocolate, etc. The big companies have the power to make sure the Egyptians and others quit using slaves to gather the Coca Beans.

The number one (1) area is the sex trade, videos, prostitution and children. You cannot do much there but you could ensure the issue becomes publicized.

Number three (3) is Coffee and you should do the same thing as you should do with chocolate.

Number four (4) is drugs and it is even worse with this area (I believe they should be legalized; it worked in the Netherlands and would be a God sent to the Country) is that the profits are used to kill us.

Yes, I am against slavery are you? God Bless You and The Southern People.

Answer 2

It became illegal to actually import slaves by boat in 1808. Twenty years prior to this date politicians agreed to end slave imports on that date in a compromise between the northern and the southern politicians. However the slave population continued to grow after the ban due to slaves being born and even sometimes bred. New technologies such as the cotton gin and textile mills in the north called for a increase in cotton production. The Cotton Belt (which was most of the Southern states) remained mostly rural to accommodate the need for cotton. This in turn was a catch 22, the South remained rural, poor, and agricultural while the North grew in population, wealth, and cities full of factories. The North had the banks that funded the southern plantations and the mills that processed the cotton. The north outlawed slavery and demanded that the South do the same, when the south needed the slaves to survive. This was one of the main reasons for growing tensions between the north and the south.

Answer 3

The importing of slaves did stop in the early 1800's but the trade of slaves within the US didn't officially stop until January 1, 1863, when Abe Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

As with most social institutes the change was not immediate, the sale and purchase of slave was curtailed but the discrimination against the freed slaves continued, just another form of slavery.

Answer 4

Legal slave trade ended in 1808 in the United States (importing of slaves) according to the Constitution.

Answer 5

The slave trade continues to this day in places you dont see. In terms of the modern face of slavery it's more about "human trafficking" generally of young women in poor countries who think they're being smuggled into (for example) the UK to live and are then forced to work as prostitutes.
