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

Slavery was effectively banned in England in 1772 as a result of a court case known as Somerset v Stewart. Lord Mansfield's ruling declared that slavery was not supported by English common law. The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 officially abolished slavery throughout the British Empire, including England.
