=Plan of the Investigation (100-150 Words)= Racial Inequality, forced labour and in extreme cases, slavery, still remain relevant and tragic issues in the 21st Century. For these reasons I have decided to examine the history of and the British involvement in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade during the late 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries and to look closely at the events which led up to the abolition of Slavery in the British Empire. How did the Slave Trade come about and what lessons can we learn from the decisions taken then to outlaw this abhorrent trade in human life? Using internet sources and two books [**name them**] I will investigate the actions taken by key figure abolitionists whom bought about the introduction and passing of the Abolition Laws. In this way I hope to clearly show the reasons for the decline and fall of the Slave Trade. .
