The Slave Trade Triangle. During the slave trade there were three stages (hence the name "the slave trade triangle"). In the first stage, Europeans bought enslaved Africans in exchange for goods shipped from Europe. In the second stage, Africans were forced onto ships to go across the Atlantic ocean to America (also known as the "middle passage"). When finally reaching America, the Africans that had survived the intensely long journey were sold as slaves to work on plantations Finally, in the third stage, the Europeans would travel back to Europe loaded with goods produced on plantations using slave labour. It would take up to one whole year for the slave trade triangle to be completed.
Slaves have been bought and sold for thousands of years. Today there are still slaves. They are taken in war, for purposes of tribal or ethnic cleansing and sold into the sex trade.

There are many reasons why it took so long to abolish the slave trade in East Africa. The main reason is that some of the people within the communities were benefiting from slave trade and were therefore slow to react.

There were various factors that contributed to the thriving trade system that flourished in West Africa. West Africa had a long coastline that connected it to many different lands and also had direct access to Saharan trade routes. Powerful sophisticated society flourished in West Africa, and its leaders grew wealthy by taxing the goods that passed through their realms. With this wealth, they were able to open new trade routes and finance larger armies.
plantation farming of tropical cash crops such as sugar and pineapple required huge numbers of workers who labored long hours in hot climates. the need for labor in the western hemisphere turned slave trade into an industry.
It was protected for approximately 20 years, from 1788 to 1808. Article 1, Section 9 prohibited Congress from passing any law regarding the slave trade until 1808 and Article 5 prohibited any amendment of that Article until 1808.
This situation 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 new legislation effectively prohibited two-thirds of the British slave trade. In the long run, many MPs who had benefited from the slave trade lost their financial support, and ultimately their position in parliament. This opened the way for Wilberforce to make another attempt to pass an Abolition bill, when all previous attempts had failed.
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.
