Slavery in the UK

[Henry M]

May 25, 1807: The Slave Trade Act, passed by Parliament, abolishes slave
trade – but not slavery – in the British Empire. Slavery was officially
abolished in 1833, with the exceptions of “Territories in the Possession of
the East India Company, or to the Island of Ceylon, or to the Island of
Saint Helena.”
Yours truly,
