Any thoughts on whether or not the loss of the American colonies hastened the British abolition of slavery?

Actually, I’ve never given that a thought, and have never come across any information that might shed light on that possibility. I watched a program not long ago that focused on Bristol, England, and that it was the leading slave port in Georgian England.
