Captives in Central Africa, 1800s |

| After nearly three centuries of an active slave trade, several colonial powers outlawed the practice around the early 1800s; however, the owning of slaves was not abolished until many years later. Denmark abolished the importation of slaves in 1792. Britain followed in 1807 and the United States in 1808. | ||||||
