The abolition of slavery is arguably the greatest humanitarian
achievement of all time. It ended an institution that had existed
throughout history and taken many different forms. It was all the
more remarkable for the speed with which it occurred. In the case
of Western chattel slavery it was accomplished in little more than
a century - which is to say between the launching of the first
British anti-slavery campaign in 1788 and the ending of Brazilian
slavery in 1888. In Asia and Africa, where Western ideas of liberty
were viewed with suspicion and slavery was deeply rooted in the
culture, emancipation took longer and in some places is still not
fully complete. But, wherever it happened, the transition from
slavery to freedom met with strong resistance, not only from former
owners but also from other groups that saw their interests
threatened. This book describes the difficulties ex-slaves faced as
they sought to build new lives for themselves as free men and
women.
