Britain outlawed the Trans-Atlantic slave trade in 1807, and it abolished slavery altogether in 1833 – but many freedmen found themselves locked into exploitative 'apprenticeships' that were periodically renewed.
A freedman or freedwoman is a former slave who has been released from slavery, usually by legal means. Historically, slaves were freed either by manumission (granted freedom by their owner) or emancipation (granted freedom as part of a larger group). A fugitive slave is one who escaped slavery by fleeing.
