Place in chronological order the following events of the anti-slavery movement.
This page offers a detailed timeline of the main historical, literary, and cultural events connected with British slavery, abolition, and emancipation between 1701 and 1800. It also includes references to the most significant events taking place outside of the British zone of influence. In the eighteenth century, an
informal British Empire was established in competition with the other major European powers and Britain became the foremost slave-trading nation. By the end of the century, however, doubts about slavery at home and the loss of the North American colonies had significantly altered both Britain's imperial and slave-trading roles. A vigorous public debate about the slave trade took place between 1785 and 1795, but the opportunity to abolish either slavery or the slave trade was lost. While
there is plenty of detail in this timeline, and I regularly add more information, it is of course impossible to record every event related to slavery and abolition in this period. This timeline is therefore only intended to provide an overview of the topic. If there is something I have left out that you think should be included, please let me know.

What was the antiAbolitionism was the movement in opposition to slavery, often demanding immediate, uncompensated emancipation of all slaves.
