This decade marked the height of the Atlantic slave trade to the United States.
During the period of 1798 and 1808, approximately 200, 000 slaves were imported from Africa to the United States.
Still, the abolitionist movement began to gain ground in this period.
Britain enacted the Slave Trade Act 1807, which barred the trade of slaves in Great Britain ( though slavery was still legal ).
The United States enacted a similar ban in 1808.
However, Nepoleon revoked the French Empire's ban on slavery with the Law of 20 May 1802.
