It became illegal to import slaves into the United States on January 1, 1808, following the enactment of the Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves.
For import into the US- about 1990-1995. Import banned by Executive Order in 1995.
It was only the international slave trade which was banned after 1808. After that time it was illegal to import any new slaves from Africa. Domestic slave trading, within the US, was still perfectly legal. All children born to slave mothers were also slaves, so there was a source of more slaves in this natural increase. Some illegal importation also continued. Men in this trade, called "blackbirders", often landed slaves in Mexico or Texas. Texas did not become a part of the US until 1845. From Mexico or Texas the illegally imported slaves could be brought overland into the US.
The 13th amendment to the US Constitution in 1865 made slavery illegal.
In 1808 the US made it illegal to import slaves from Africa.
President Jefferson did not free his slaves and owned a good number of them when he issued his statement condemning slavery. Unfortunately Jefferson's increasing financial problems and the hardening of his Virginia neighbors against manumission of slaves, forced him to keep his slaves. This in no way detracts his official presidential position on slavery.
Thomas Jefferson banned all the trade with foreign countries because British had attacked US ships.
