I watched a film about slavery. It was slavery in the UK not US. I don't know the name of the film nor the main person involved. His friend became later the youngest Prime minister of the age of 24 in history. Anyway, he and his friends managed to abolish the slave trade. The first date the film showed was 1817. I don't know how long they fought in the House of Commons for this. It was a very exciting film based on real history. I don't know when the UK freed all slaves and made slavery completely illegal.
