Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton (1786 1845) was a committed social
reformer throughout his life and became involved with the abolition
of slavery during his time as an MP, taking over the leadership of
the abolition movement in the British House of Commons after
William Wilberforce retired in 1825. Following the abolition of
slavery in Britain and its colonies in 1833, and his loss of his
Parliamentary seat in 1837, Buxton concerned himself with the slave
trade along the African coast still perpetrated by Africans, Arabs
and the Portuguese. The results of his research and conclusions
were originally published in 1839, and demonstrate the extent to
which slave trading still existed, and its human cost in mortality
and misery, despite attempts at policing by the British navy.
Buxton explores the theory that the key to complete abolition is a
change in market economics to eliminate the need for African slave
labour.
