Abolition of Slavery

[Peter Gatehouse]

I note for 1897 the record in blue "slavery abolished"
I refer you to the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, to www.victorianweb.org/history/antislavery.html and to www.learningcurve.gov.uk/snapshots/snapshot27/snapshot27.htm

[brisray]

you're absolutely right.

1833 - The Slavery Abolition Act passed by British Parliament on 24th August

1834 - The Slavery Abolition Act becomes law on 1st August

I sometimes make mistakes like this, so any corrections are always welcome.
