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.
