Abstract
The important human flow in the history of Africa, under
the context of trans-Atlantic slave trade, decreased labour
force and therefore the production of cash crops and
minerals, which were of increasing demand after the advent
of the Industrial Revolution. Under these circumstances, the
British decided to prohibit slave trade by the Abolition Act
of 1807, which generated divergent interpretations. While
the official discourse stressed the humanitarian argument,
others emphasised rather the economic reasons. The article
attempts to find out the more determining factors to the
reasons for the Abolition Act.
