Cevap

The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 abolished the practice of slavery throughout most of the British Empire.
The 1833 Slavery Abolition Act was the specific law that ended the practice of slavery throughout the British Empire. This followed the 1807 Act, which had previously only made the slave trade (the transport and sale of people) illegal.
