USA best country in the world for black people?

Nah just pointing out the public figures on black internet that wanna be magatardz

Without America would the slave trade have downsized so quickly?

Hell yes...English did not take part in the trade and the Methodist Christians led by John Wesley abhorred slavery....big split among Christians during that era!

"Britain was one of the most successful slave-trading countries. Together with Portugal, the two countries accounted for about 70% of all Africans transported to the Americas."

To answer your original question of who stopped the trade first btwn US and UK....UK stopped about 25-30yrs before the emancipation proclamation.

I love these hidden history nuggets..more connections to make....shows way more than what textbooks in HS ever did..... side note TJ sure loved him some chocolate πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…...im sure he only sent the men away πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

The Wesleyan movmnt was pretty big...they frowned on the trade..

John Wesley, a prominent Anglican cleric and theologian, was a vocal opponent of slavery. He published "Thoughts Upon Slavery" in 1774, where he condemned the practice as unjust and contrary to Christian principles, urging slave traders and owners to repent and free their slaves.

Wesley's stance on slavery influenced figures like William Wilberforce, who continued the fight against slavery after Wesley's death in 1791.

Wesley's writings and advocacy played a significant role in the abolitionist movement, contributing to the eventual passage of the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833.

Yeah they're traitors

Some fought on the side of the revolution… history is complicated

Yes but not as equal men... complicated matter for sure.

1864 was on more definitive grounds.

I would tend to agree, there were also free blacks during slavery as well. Manumission was used more than people know.
