[PAR] [TLE] Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves [SEP] The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat.  426 , enacted March 2, 1807) is a United States federal law that stated that no new slaves were permitted to be imported into the United States.  It took effect in 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution. [PAR] [TLE] Blockade of Africa [SEP] The Blockade of Africa began in 1808 after Britain outlawed the Atlantic slave trade, making it illegal for British ships to transport slaves.  The Royal Navy immediately established a presence off Africa to enforce the ban, called the West Africa Squadron.  Although the ban initially applied only to British ships, Britain negotiated treaties with other countries to give the Royal Navy the right to intercept and search their ships for slaves.  A notable exception was the United States, which refused such permission.  The 1807 Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves technically abolished the intercontinental slave trade in the United States but the ban was not widely enforced and many of the slave ships which escaped the blockade were destined for the southern United States.
