Catalina Bates · Answer 1

1833 is when they passed the Slavery Abolition Act. 1838 is when slaves were fully free. Therefore Britain abolished slavery in 1833, before the United States did.

Leo Hunter · Answer 2

"in 1833, before the United States did" is correct. It should be noted that the British passed a law in 107 that prohibited the sale and trade of slaves, but not the institution itself.
