The Middle Passage, the transatlantic slave trade route, was officially ended through legislation and international agreements. The British Parliament passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807, followed by the United States banning the importation of slaves in 1808. Additionally, other countries and international treaties, such as the Treaty of Paris in 1814, contributed to the eventual cessation of the Middle Passage. The abolitionist movements and changing economic conditions also played a significant role in ending this brutal and inhumane practice.
