it was justas bad as it was here in the U.S.
August 1, 1834 Not true. It wasn't banned in England (UK) until this century. There wasn't a need to ban it as there was a law that stated that any slave brought into England would be set free on entery. And that dates back to the 1700s
In New England, there was a growing opposition to slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries. Many individuals and groups in the region began to advocate for the abolition of slavery, influenced by Enlightenment ideals of liberty and equality. By the early 19th century, all New England states had abolished slavery or begun the process of gradual emancipation.
Slavery was abolished throughout the British Empire, including England, in 1833 with the passage of the Slavery Abolition Act. This act emancipated all slaves in the British Empire, although it included a period of apprenticeship for freed slaves to transition to paid work.
It is a free STATE that is closed by slavery. You know..... like when there is a free state, there is NO slavery. Therefore, it is like slavery is closed, that is way it is called closed to slavery.
Slavery was made illegal in England in 1772, following the landmark Somerset v Stewart case which ruled that chattel slavery did not have a basis in common law. This judgment did not abolish slavery in the entire British Empire, but it laid important legal groundwork for future abolition efforts.

Slavery in New England was less prevalent and focused more on domestic work and skilled labor, while in the Southern colonies, slavery was widespread and centered around large-scale agricultural production, particularly in the cultivation of crops like tobacco, rice, and cotton.
In states like Rhode Island, which banned slavery in 1843, slavery continued until just before the Civil War. Others like New Hampshire and New Jersey never banned slavery. There, slavery only became illegal with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865.

I believe slavery was present until the Civil War came around. Then New England was a safe haven for slaves. During the American Revolution period, slavery was present everywhere.
Yes, one of the main purpose of the declaration of independence was to persuade England to end slavery in America.
