In which territories was the first movement to abolish slavery initiated?

  1. British Parliament

  2. American Colonies

  3. French Colonies

  4. Spanish Empire

The correct answer is: British Parliament

The first movement to abolish slavery was initiated in the British Parliament. This is because Britain was one of the leading European powers at the time and had a significant role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. British abolitionists, such as William Wilberforce, began pushing for the end of slavery in the late 1700s. While there were also abolition movements in the American, French, and Spanish territories, they were not the first to take action and initiate the movement. The American Colonies, for example, did not formally abolish slavery until after the American Civil War in the mid-1800s. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect.
