Original Note:
The UK was neither the only, nor the first, country to abolish the slave trade. There’s a handy timeline on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_abolition_of_slavery_and_serfdom Also, the legislation was passed by the legislature of the United Kingdom (not Great Britain as stated by the OP)
