british merchants handled most of the trade between europe and latin america, for few spanish or portuguese merchants were in competition. by 1824 as spain left the region about 90 british commercial houses were operating in the former spanish colonies, with a concentration in buenos aires. already in 1810 there were 200 in brazil. the slave trade had strong british participation until the british outlawed it in 1807, and in 1833 abolished slavery in all its colonies. spain granted exclusive rights to the british south sea company to supply slaves to the colonies. the south sea company simultaneously engaged in illegal commercial trade. once spain tried to stop it the result was the small-scale war of jenkins ear that dragged on for a decade after 1739. the war began after british captain robert jenkins was seized by spanish sailors who cut off his ears. the british captured porto bello in november 1739. governor james oglethorpe of georgia led an attack on st. augustine, florida, in 1740; spain retaliated with an attack in st. simon's island, georgia.
