Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book is a meticulously detailed exploration of the British Anti-Slavery Movement that began in earnest shortly after the turn of the 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and the brutal conditions slaves endured on sugar plantations in the West Indies, it brings together an eclectic collection of reports, speeches and newspaper articles, written by and about prominent abolitionists as they campaigned for the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. The book effectively connects the past with the present by placing the movement within a wider historical context, from its humble beginnings to its ultimate triumph. Through this, it also illustrates the role that public activism, political pressure, and shifting consumer habits in Britain's major cities played in the eventual success of the abolitionist cause.
