Great Britain did indeed outlaw slavery with the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, which means they abolished it about 30 years before the U.S. with the 13th Amendment in 1865. However, while restrictions were placed on the slave trade during the late 18th century, slavery itself persisted in the colonies for many years afterward. In fact, the British Empire continued to hold enslaved people until the act took full effect in 1838. As for the United States, slavery was banned in the importation of new enslaved people in 1808, but it continued domestically until the Civil War’s conclusion. In summary, the first, second, and fourth statements are true, while the third statement about slavery lasting into the 1900s in the British Empire is misleading, as it suggests formal slavery in a legal sense, which had ended by then, but practices akin to it continued in certain colonies.
