After 1793, the аbоlitiоnists were оn the bаck foot. Even so, the issue continued to be debаted in and rejected by Parliament. In 1798, Wilberforce resolved not to press for abolition of the slave trade until times changed. Then, after a short peace in 1802 and Napoleon's subsequent reintroduction of slavery into French colonies, Wilberforce was reinvigorated enough in 1804 to again bring abolition to the Commons. His abolitionist colleagues returned to their well-tried tactics, but again the Lords was resistant. It was only the death of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger in January 1806 and the creation of a new government that made abolition possible – the new Cabinet had abolitionists within its ranks. In 1806, the Foreign Slave Trade Act was passed, which banned the trade in slaves to non-British islands. But as, by then, the bulk of the trade was actually directed to such islands, this meant that, at a stroke, the bulk ofthe British trade had been outlawed. Following a general election in 1806, in which abolition had been a central issue, the House of Commons was filled with abolitionist MPs and the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act was passed by 283 votes to 16. In March 1807, the Act received royal Assent andthe British slave trade was abolished. But the campaign was only partially successful. Other nations continued to trade in Africans after 1807, and slavery itself remained in place, in the British colonies surviving until 1838. Even so, the ending of the British slave trade was a remarkable turn-about. The Atlantic's major slave trade henceforth became the Atlantic's major abolitionist power.
