The Slave Trade Act of 1807 was enacted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, effectively abolishing the transatlantic slave trade in British territories. This legislation made it illegal to engage in the slave trade, though it did not end slavery itself. The act was a significant step towards the eventual abolition of slavery, which was achieved in Britain with the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. Other countries, including the United States and France, took different paths and timelines to address slavery and the slave trade.
