Slavery Abolition Act, (1833), in British history, act of Parliament that abolished slavery in most British colonies, freeing more than 800,000 enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and South Africa as well as a small number in Canada. It received Royal Assent on August 28, 1833, and took effect on August 1, 1834. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Slavery-Abolition-Act No they were not but like many who seem incapable of understanding, it was under pressure from the UK that slavery went down. Tell me, when Mugabe was in charge of Zimbabwe were the people better off that when it was under British rule? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in Buddhism we find descriptions to justify slavery. Today Interest slavery is what should had been abolished, and is in fact Haram which means forbidden in The Quran.

Same Same Denmark and Norway ? I think it was because the Haitian slaves revolted, killed as many masters as they could, and took over the country. I don't think it was because the masters had a change of heart and decided to free all the slaves. Tell me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
