The End of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade
The combination of Enlightenment thought, religious conviction, and a slave revolt in
Haiti led to the end of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The British ended their participation
in the slave trade in 1807, then worked to get the cooperation of other slave importers to
the Americas to end their part in the slave trade. While Britain seized hundreds of slave
ships, Cuba and Brazil, with the cooperation of African rulers, continued to import huge
numbers of slaves. The trans-Atlantic slave trade did not end until 1867.❯ Rapid Review
Although the trade in human beings across the Atlantic was coming to an end, other
avenues of trade appeared worldwide. Latin America, Russia, the Islamic world, and Japan
developed an increased dependency on Western technology. China saw its favorable bal-
ance of trade reversed as its silver supply was diminished to purchase Indian opium from
Great Britain. By the beginning of the twentieth century, European products dominated
global trade routes.❯ Review Questions
