Over the course of the nineteenth century, European and American
attitudes to slavery underwent a transformation. Slavery, thriving
and morally acceptable on the eve of the American and French
revolutions, was considered 'uncivilized' and 'barbaric' by 1900.
This transformation is one of the most significant moral
revolutions in human history. This book shows how the anti-slavery
movement became a central aspect of international relations in the
nineteenth century. Abolitionism provided an issue that connected
high politics, popular associations, and the agency of the most
oppressed individuals, in changing social institutions, labour,
economic and commercial relations, and international politics. The
story of the exchange of these ideas across borders, the
establishment of transnational networks, and the global legacy of
anti-slavery for human rights and humanitarian politics today are
the subjects of this collection of essays.
