British traders transported an estimated 3.4 million Africans to North America to be used as slaves during the 245 years the transatlantic slave trade was active. However, Britain would abolish slavery early in the 19th century, which can be seen in this photo where a British merchant on the HMS Sphinx is removing the slave’s restraints circa 1907.
