 Cudjoe Lewis, who died in 1935, was long believed to be the last survivor of the Clotilde and the last surviving slave brought from Africa to the United States  but recent research has found that two other survivors from the Clotilde outlived him, Redoshi (who died in 1937) and Matilda McCrear (who died in 1940).The last country to ban the Atlantic slave trade was Brazil in 1831.However, a vibrant illegal trade continued to ship large numbers of enslaved people to Brazil and also to Cuba until the 1860s, when British enforcement and further diplomacy finally ended the Atlantic slave trade.
