Slave trade has been around for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks, Romans,Egyptians, pirates, and others traded, sold, and captured people to sell as slaves. The African slave trade was just an extension of slavery and had also been in existence for thousands of years. Slavery still exists today and Isis has produced a manual on the capture and treatment of slaves. Many are women and children in areas that they have taken. In Southeast Asia there are women who are sex slaves and children who are bought and sold for sex.
millions of the African slaves died and it effected the African population and weakened many societies
It could be said that Wilberforce worked to abolish the slave trade for a good twenty years. In 1787, Wilberforce became leader of the parliamentary campaign of the Committee for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. Between 1789 and 1806, he attempted to pass numerous parliamentary bills against the slave trade, but was unsuccessful each time, as many of the members of parliament stood to profit from their own indirect involvement in the trade. It was not until 1806, when a change of tactics was suggested by maritime lawyer James Stephen, that Wilberforce achieved some success in his goal. The change of tactics involved introducing a bill to ban British subjects from aiding or participating in the slave trade to the French colonies. It was a smart move, as the majority of the ships were flying American flags, though manned by British crews and sailing out of Liverpool. The Foreign Slave Trade Act was quickly passed and the tactic proved successful. The final passing of Wilberforce's successful Abolition Bill occurred on 23 February 1807. The Slave Trade Act received the royal assent on 25 March 1807. This Act did not free those who were already slaves; it was not until 1833 that an act was passed giving freedom to all slaves in the British empire.

ANSWER:Atlantic slave trade actually began as early as the late 1400's as many of the other countries freely traded slaves. The United States was one of the last countries to become involved in slave trade.
The transatlantic slave trade was officially outlawed in the early 19th century. The United States banned the importation of slaves in 1808, and Britain passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807. However, the practice of slavery itself continued in many places until the mid-19th century.
