Condition: Used A Little History: On 25 March 1807, King George III signed into law the Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, banning trading in enslaved people of the British Empire. It provided for the abolition of its Atlantic slave trade but did not alter its internal trade in slaves, while the American abolition of the international slave trade led to the creation of a coastwise slave trade in the United States, ensuring American slavery would thrive past 1807. This campaign led to the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, which abolished slavery in most of the British Empire. Wilberforce died just three days after hearing that the passage of the Act through Parliament was assured and still today some are still fighting for freedom.
