England+dominates

=__England dominates the slave trade__= As England's presence in America grew, it came to dominate the Atlantic slave trade. From 1690 until England abolished the slave trade in 1807, it was the leading carrier of enslaved Africans. By the time the slave trade ended, the English had transported nearly 1.7 million Africans to their colonies in West Indies. They were also brought to what is now the United States. Nearly 400,000 Africans were sold to Britain's North American colonies. Once they were in North America the slave population steadily grew. By 1830, roughly 2 million slaves toiled in the United States.
