Answer 2

The end of Mexican regulations on slave importation

Step-by-step explanation:

They passed a law in 1807 that forbidden import of slaves to the United States. The law took effect on January 1, 1808. The law did not forbid slavery and children born to slaves automatically became slaves themselves. This law and the growing demand for slaves in the South produced the national slave trade to grow.
