HOW LONG DID IT TAKE AFTER THE SLAVE TRADE ENDED FOR SLAVES TO GAIN FREEDOM
The timeline for slaves gaining freedom after the slave trade ended varies depending on the country or region. In the United States, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863 during the American Civil War, but it wasn't until the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1865 that all slaves were legally freed.
In the British Empire, the Slavery Abolition Act was passed in 1833, which freed slaves across most of the British colonies, but in some cases, the process of emancipation was not fully completed until several years later, such as in Jamaica where it took until 1838.
In other countries, such as Brazil, slavery was not fully abolished until 1888. Overall, it took several decades for all slaves to gain their freedom after the slave trade had ended.
