This study presents new information about the four Quaker businessmen who helped found the London Abolition Committee in 1787 and remained active in the late anti-slave trade movement throughout their lifetimes. Drawing on previously unused primary sources, the study traces the close personal, business, social and religious ties binding the men together and shaping their abolition activities and arguments. By closely examining the lives of Joseph Woods, James Philips, George Harrison and Samuel Hoare, the study presents a new view of the factors shaping the arguments and strategies of abolitionism in Britain.

Drawing on previously unused sources, this work traces the personal, business, social and religious ties binding together four Quaker businessmen who became founding members of the London Abolition Committee in 1787, and who subsequently helped transform abolitionism into a national political movement. By examining the lives of Joseph Woods, James Phillips, George Harrison and Samuel Hoare, Dr. Jennings presents a new view of the factors shaping the arguments and strategies of abolitionism in Britain. She suggests links between abolitionism and the capitalist values emerging from the growth of the market economy and the developing consumer society in late eighteenth-century Britain. Closely studying the interplay between individuals and larger cultural forces, she offers an original approach to the problem of understanding the changing politics, economics and social forces in Britain during this period. The four men who form the main subject of this book placed articles in newspapers, and published circulars, reports and information about the slave trade and their reasons for supporting abolition. They helped to establish petitioning as a respectable tool and played a major role in the creation of the language and literature of the anti-slave campaign. 'The Business of Abolishing the British Slave Trade, 1783-1807' is a well-researched but readable account that will be of particular relevance to those interested in British history, eighteenth-century studies, abolition historiography, political economy, the history of social activism and social change, religious studies, and sociology.

Ryden challenges conventional wisdom regarding the political and economic motivations behind the final decision to abolish the British slave trade in 1807. His research illustrates that a faltering sugar economy after 1799 tipped the scales in favour of the abolitionist argument and helped secure the passage of abolition.

A new history of the abolition of the British slave trade “Easily the most scholarly, clear and persuasive analysis yet published of the rise to dominance of the British in the Atlantic slave trade—as well as the implementation of abolition when that dominance was its peak.”—David Eltis, co-author of Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade Parliament’s decision in 1807 to outlaw British slaving was a key moment in modern world history. In this magisterial work, historian David Richardson challenges claims that this event was largely due to the actions of particular individuals and emphasizes instead that abolition of the British slave trade relied on the power of ordinary people to change the world. British slaving and opposition to it grew in parallel through the 1760s and then increasingly came into conflict both in the public imagination and in political discourse. Looking at the ideological tensions between Britons’ sense of themselves as free people and their willingness to enslave Africans abroad, Richardson shows that from the 1770s those simmering tensions became politicized even as British slaving activities reached unprecedented levels, mobilizing public opinion to coerce Parliament to confront and begin to resolve the issue between 1788 and 1807.

With the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 and the Emancipation Act of 1833, Britain seemed to wash its hands of slavery. Not so, according to Marika Sherwood, who sets the record straight in this provocative new book. In fact, Sherwood demonstrates that Britain continued to contribute to the slave trade well after 1807, even into the twentieth century. Drawing on government documents and contemporary reports as well as published sources, she describes how slavery remained very much a part of British investment, commerce and empire, especially in funding and supplying goods for the trade in slaves and in the use of slave-grown produce. The nancial world of the City in London also depended on slavery, which - directly and indirectly - provided employment for millions of people. "After Abolition" also examines some of the causes and repercussions of continued British involvement in slavery and describes many of the apparently respectable villains, as well as the heroes, connected with the trade - at all levels of society. It contains important revelations about a darker side of British history, previously unexplored, which will provoke real questions about Britain's perceptions of its past

With the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 and the emancipation of all slaves throughout the British Empire in 1833, Britain washed its hands of slavery. Not so, according to Marika Sherwood, who sets the record straight in this provocative new book. In fact, Sherwood demonstrates Britain continued to contribute to and profit from the slave trade well after 1807, even into the twentieth century. Drawing on unpublished sources in areas of British history which have been previously overlooked, she describes how slavery remained very much a part of British commerce and empire, especially in the use of slave labour in Britain's African colonies. She also examines some of the causes and repercussions of continued British involvement in slavery and describes many of the shady characters, as well as the heroes, connected with the trade - at all levels of society. "After Abolition" contains important revelations about a darker side of British history which will provoke real questions about Britain's perceptions of its past. -- Publisher description

Slavery and the British Empire provides a clear overview of the entire history of British involvement with slavery and the slave trade, from the Cape Colony to the Caribbean. The book combines economic, social, political, cultural, and demographic history, with a particular focus on the Atlantic world and the plantations of North America and the West Indies from the mid-seventeenth century onwards. Kenneth Morgan analyses the distribution of slaves within the empire and how this changed over time; the world of merchants and planters; the organization and impact of the triangular slave trade; the work and culture of the enslaved; slave demography; health and family life; resistance and rebellions; the impact of the anti-slavery movement; and the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807 and of slavery itself in most of the British empire in 1834. As well as providing the ideal introduction to the history of British involvement in the slave trade, this book also shows just how deeply embedded slavery was in British domestic and imperial history - and just how long it took for British involvement in slavery to die, even after emancipation.

"The History Of The Rise, Progress, And Accomplishment Of The Abolition Of The African Slave Trade By The British Parliament" is a two-volume book written by Thomas Clarkson. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the efforts to abolish the transatlantic slave trade in Britain. Volume II of the book focuses on the period from 1792 to 1807, during which the British anti-slavery movement gained momentum and ultimately succeeded in convincing Parliament to pass the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807. The act made it illegal to transport enslaved Africans across the Atlantic and marked a major milestone in the fight against slavery. "The History of the Rise, Progress, and Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave Trade by the British Parliament" is a key work in the history of the abolitionist movement and a testament to the power of activism and advocacy in the pursuit of justice.
