The Christians were against the slave trade and fight against it.
You may be talking about the "Jesus Company" where its founder was a converso (converted) [1].
You may consider that the `the homogeneous English immigrants` were the only ones to BAN and forbid the slave trade.

I am under impression they were the only ONES to object to it.
Until they came everybody was OK with slavery.
And slavery is still practiced in some parts of Africa[1].
Slavery was common including black owned slaves[2]
Then these pesky Christian English started talking about freedom, equality, individual rights, etc.
Whole world silent and they talking about the horrors of slavery.
No one else cared about it, no one else fight for it.
