When and how did the Atlantic Slave Trade end?

The Atlantic Slave Trade officially ended in the early 19th century. It was abolished through a combination of factors, including the efforts of abolitionist movements, economic changes, and political decisions. The British Parliament passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807, which prohibited British ships from participating in the slave trade. Other countries followed suit, with the United States banning the importation of slaves in 1808. The trade continued illegally for some time, but international pressure and further legislation eventually led to its complete abolition. The British Empire abolished slavery throughout its colonies with the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, and other countries gradually followed suit in the following decades.
