This is a wildly misleading article about the role of Great Britain in the Atlantic Slave Trade.

They were transporting slaves to Jamaica in the 1840s. They were transporting slaves to the USA long after that country banned the trade. As the wiki article about the trans-Atlantic slave trade says:

The major Atlantic slave-trading nations, ordered by trade volume, were the Portuguese, the British, the Spanish, the French, the Dutch, and the Danish. Several had established outposts on the African coast where they purchased slaves from local African leaders. Note who is second, after the Portuguese but before the Spanish. 96.240.128.124 (talk) 11:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
