4 mar 1807 ano - Transatlantic slave trade abolished

Descrição:

Congress passed a law banning the importation of slaves into the country, ending the transatlantic slave trade. It came into effect January 1, 1808, the earliest date permitted by the Constitution. However, in its place, the domestic slave trade began to flourish, meaning slavery in the US was far from over.
