The Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, or as it is known the Slave Trade Act 1807, was meant to end slave trade that got its slaves from Africa (D).

Since this was mainly the only place from which slaves were bought, Africa is directly named in the document as the means to end all slave trade.

However, contrary to these expectations, the act did not abolish slavery in English soil. It was thought that by abolishing slave trade, slavery would naturally end. That didn't happen until 1833 with the Slavery Abolition Act that directly abolished slavery in all English soil.

For what purpose did the burglars remove ceiling tiles in the headquarters of the Democratic Committee in the Watergate Complex?
stira [4]

According to spokesman for the Democratic National Committee said records kept in those offices are "not of a sensitive variety" although there are "financial records and other such information" maybe the purpose of burglars to remove ceiling tiles in the headquarters of the Democratic Committee in the Watergate Complex.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Watergate controversy was a US-led massive scandal concerning U.S. government and forced President Richard Nixon to contribute resignation from 1972 to 1974. Two ceiling panels in Dorothy V. Bush's office, Democratic Party secretary, had been stripped away as per Police.

Her workplace is next to Lawrence F. O'Brien, the Democratic National Chairperson. Probably, a bugging tool may have been slided via the panels in that workplace to a spot above the ceiling panels in O'Brien's office.
