Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the parliamentary debates surrounding the abolition of the British slave trade and slavery. The author argues that the West Indian slave-owning community was largely responsible for preserving the transatlantic slave trade long after its abolition by other European nations and that they continued to resist any meaningful reforms that would have improved the lives of enslaved people. The book examines the ways in which the British Parliament and people gradually came to recognize the evils of slavery and the need for its abolition, despite the powerful resistance of the West Indian lobby. The book provides a valuable historical overview of the abolition movement and the political and economic factors that shaped the debate over slavery in the British Empire.
