Summary

The story of the slave trade and the campaign to bring it to an end in the British Empire

Abolition! Summary

Abolition!: The struggle to abolish slavery in the British colonies by Richard Reddie

The Anti-Slave Trade Act became law on 25th March 1807. It made the capture and transport of slaves by British subjects illegal. Slavery as such in the British Empire wasn't abolished until 1833. This book tells the story of the slave trade in the British Empire and examines the movement to bring it to an end.

Abolition! Reviews

Scholarly, readable and timely ... Richard Reddie's excellent book should remind us that the battles he describes so brilliantly have to be fought and won again and again by each generation. --Tony Benn, author, Letters to My Grandchildren
