From 1789 to 1888, in the new frontiers of slavery
in London, Paris and Washington, the abolitionist movement was gathering momentum. After the slave rebellion in Santo Domingo, and facing the public opinion鈥檚 growing outrage, the major European powers abolished the trans-Atlantic trade in 1807.

Yet Europe, in the midst of the industrial revolution, could not do without the slave workforce. To satisfy its needs in raw materials, it pushed further the frontiers of slavery and turned a blind eye on the new forms of human exploitation in Brazil, the United States and Africa. At a time when legal trade was finally prohibited, the deportation of African captives would explode, and become more important than ever. Within 50 years, nearly 2.5 million were deported.

Bho 1789 gu 1888: Cr矛ochan 脵ra Tr脿illeachd. Ann an Lunnainn, Paris is Washington, bha an iomairt an aghaidh tr脿illeachd a' s矛or-fh脿s. 脌s d猫idh r猫abhlaid nan tr脿ill ann an Santo Domingo, is seach gu robh am poball a' tionndadh na aghaidh, chuir r矛oghachdan m貌ra na h-E貌rpa stad air malairt nan tr脿ill tarsainn a' Chuain Shiar ann an 1807. Ach, ann san tionndadh gn矛omhachais, cha d猫anadh an Roinn E貌rpa a' ch霉is 脿s aonais tr脿illean. Bha feum air bun-stuthan is chaidh tr脿illeachd a phutadh chun iomaill, is cha robh guth air an droch-dh矛oladh ann am Braisil, na St脿itean Aonaichte is Afraga. Aig 脿m nuair a chaidh malairt laghail a chasg mu dheireadh thall, dheidheadh an 脿ireamh de dh'Afraganaich a chaidh an toirt am bruid am meud gu m貌r, is dh'fh脿sadh e na bu cudromaiche na bha e riamh. Taobh a-staigh 50 bliadhna, chaidh faisg air 2.5 millean an toirt am bruid.
