Explanation

The British took action against African leaders who refused to agree to outlaw the slave trade by signing anti-slavery treaties with them.
These treaties aimed to halt the slave trade and abolish the practice within the territories of the African rulers.
Over 50 African rulers signed such treaties with the British, leading to a gradual decline in the transatlantic slave trade.
