- A: Countries gradually prohibited the slave trade, and Britain posted a naval squadron off the coast of West Africa to prevent any slave trade north of the Equator. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Countries in the North Atlantic region like Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden gradually began to prohibit the slave trade within their territories. 2. In 1807, the British Parliament passed legislation that made it illegal to engage in the slave trade throughout the British Empire. 3. After the passage of this law, Britain also posted a naval squadron off the coast of West Africa to enforce this new law and prevent any slave trade north of the Equator. 4. This move by Britain put pressure on other countries like the United States and Portugal to also prohibit the slave trade.
