    Britain put an end to the slave trade with the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act 1807, a landmark victory for the abolitionist movement that included politicians and Quakers, though it did not immediately end slavery itself in the colonies. The institution of slavery in the British Empire was then outlawed by the Slavery Abolition Act 1833,

    Enforcement: After the slave trade was abolished, Britain deployed the West Africa Squadron, a naval force, to intercept and patrol the Atlantic to stop illegal slaving ships and free captives

    An estimated 17,000 Royal Navy sailors died between 1807 and 1865 while serving in the West Africa Squadron, which patrolled to suppress the slave trade. The majority of these deaths were due to disease, including combat with slave trader

    I think enough of our people have died preventing slavery if they want repatriations, take it from west Africans and Arabs who kept finding ways overland to keep the heinous trade going

    Only so he could fine their owners, and 99% of the 'free' were villeins, serfs or indentured servants for life, which is pretty much slavery in all but name.

    Correct. Wasn't saying William was a philanthropist. Just pointing out that by hook or by crook, slavery in Britain was outlawed very early on.

    Every race in every region on earth have had slaves at some point. Britain were first to abolish slavery first within its boundaries and then attempted to abolish it worldwide by force and at great cost to the taxpayers until 2015 when the debt was officially paid off.

    Most people don't know this. Including Lenny Henry it seems.
