26 juin 1807 - Slave Trade (Not Slavery Itself) Made Illegal

Description:

"The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves mandates that no new slaves are to be imported into the United States.

The act was not well-enforced, and slaves continued to be imported on a more limited basis. Moreover, the law outlawed the slave trade, not slavery itself."
