Slavery in Britain 1772, the trade in slaves by 1807 (enforced by the West Africa Squadron comprising up to 1/6th of the Navy), slavery itself in most of the Empire in 1833, finally Empire everywhere in 1848.
Austen books are around 1810-1820, so you could have made your fortune in the slave trade but now you'd just have to repress the poor in general.
