And HOW many years AFTER Britain was in the slave trade did they do that?
Nearly THREE HUNDRED.

British Involvement in the Transatlantic Slave Trade
Captain John Hawkins made the first known English slaving voyage to Africa
in 1562.
For well over 300 years, European countries forced Africans onto slave
ships and transported them across the Atlantic Ocean.
The first European nation to engage in the Transatlantic Slave Trade was
Portugal in the mid to late 1400's.
To start with, British traders supplied slaves for the Spanish and
Portuguese colonists in America. However, as British settlements in the
Caribbean and North America grew, often through wars with European
countries such as Holland, Spain and France, British slave traders
increasingly supplied British colonies.

Britain was the most dominant between 1640 and 1807 when the British slave
trade was abolished.
