Britain had a significant presence off the West African coast and played a crucial role in suppressing the Atlantic slave trade.
The British Royal Navy established the West Africa Squadron, which actively patrolled the coast to intercept and seize slave ships.
Between 1808 and 1860, the squadron seized approximately 1,600 slave ships and freed around 150,000 enslaved Africans.
