Life in the UK Exam 15
When did the Emancipation Act abolish slavery throughout the British Empire?
Correct Answer: 1833
The Emancipation Act was passed in 1833, abolishing slavery throughout the British Empire.
This came 26 years after the Slave Trade Act 1807 (which ended the trade in enslaved people). The campaign was led by abolitionists including William Wilberforce. Slavery formally ended in 1834 when the Act came into force.
