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.

What were Warren G. Harding’s strengths and weaknesses as president?
ELEN [110]

Pros: Harding’s presidency was overshadowed by the criminal activities of some of his cabinet members and other government officials, although he himself was not involved in any wrongdoing. An Ohio native and Republican, Harding was a successful newspaper publisher who served in the Ohio legislature and the U.S. Senate. In 1920, he won the general election in a landslide, promising a “return to normalcy” after the hardships of World War I (1914-1918).

Cons: After Harding’s death, the Teapot Dome Scandal and other instances of corruption came to light, damaging his reputation. Pretty much his reputation got destroyed when he died.
