Slave trade in Britain was outlawed in 1808 when Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act of 1807. However, this did not slavery altogether. The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 abolished slavery in most British Empires.
Thomas Clarkson became the president of the world's first abolitionist society, known as the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, in 1787. He was a prominent British abolitionist who played a crucial role in the abolition movement and the eventual abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.

In a free society everyone was free and equal there were no slaves but a slave society everyone isn't created equal and others who are considered inferior are forced to serve others.
