The Abolition of Slavery - A timeline
Over 200 years ago, slavery was finally abolished. After hundreds of years of it continuously ruining the lives of thousands of Africans, it ended. But what about the events and people who helped to realise this ultimate goal? This is a timeline to show the major events and to honour those faithful abolitionsists who brought an end to the horror that was slavery.
I have organised the dates and events into separate pages under different themes below. There is even a quiz at the bottom to test your knowledge of the various events and people.
Actions by Whites - 1775 - 1852
Actions by Blacks - 1730 - 1845
Laws Against the Slave Trade - 1790 - 1851
