Slave Trade Acts

The slave trade was when people were forced to leave their homes and travel to different places to work as slaves. Slave trade acts were laws made to try to stop people from taking away people's freedom, and force them to work as slaves. The laws made it illegal for people to buy, sell, or transport people who were being held as slaves. They also made it illegal to use ships to bring slaves from Africa to other places. These laws made it so that people could not be taken away from their homes and forced to be slaves, and it helped to end the slave trade in many countries.
