The British transatlantic slave trade A four-volume work covering the history of the British Transatlantic slave trade and including relevant texts in facsimile. VOLUME 1 focuses on the operation of the slave trade in Africa featuring John Hawkins, A true declaration of the troublesome voyadge of M. John Hawkins to the parties of Guynea and the west Indies, in the yeares of our Lord 1567 and 1568 (1569); John Matthews, A Voyage to the River Sierra-Leone (1788); John Adams, Sketches taken during Ten Voyages to Africa, between the Years 1786 and 1800 (1821) and Gomer Williams, History of the Liverpool Privateers and Letters of Marque, with an Account of the Liverpool Slave Trade (excerpt) (1897). VOLUME 2 features texts connected with the largest and most significant of the English slavetrading companies, the Royal African Company established in 1672. The reprinted texts highlight the changing fortunes of the company, the details of the charter under which it traded, the financial pressures of maintaining fortified establishments in west Africa, the rivalry with other African trading companies of European powers, the increasing presence of private merchants in the slave trade and the role of the company in maintaining British imperial and naval power. VOLUME 3 concentrates on the early days of the abolition movement in Britain, reprinting texts from the late 1780s. These include papers by Clarkson who toured Great Britain gathering data and evidence on the conduct of the slave trade, other contemporary observations of slave conditions, and Thomas Cooper's Letters on the Slave Trade which provide estimates of the volume of the slave traffic. VOLUME 4 reprints a representative sample of texts illustrating the defensive reasoning employed by pro-slavery campaigners based on mercantilism, imperialism, constitutionalism and even humanitarianism. The texts provide an insight into attitudes toward race, work and power in the colonies and Hanoverian Britain. Each volume is supported by a detailed bibliography.

Nelson and the slave trade "In June 1805, from his cabin on HMS Victory, Nelson wrote a personal and private letter to a long standing acquaintance on Jamaica, the wealthy and powerful slave owner, Simon Taylor. This book reveals how that letter was subsequently forged by the West India planters, who sought to use Nelson's posthumous reputation in their campaign to prevent the abolition of the slave trade and slavery. As a result of these forgeries Nelson's reputation has been called into question in recent times. The fight for his reputation is Nelson's final battle."--Provided by the publisher.

Liverpool and the slave trade / Anthony Tibbles. "During the course of more than four centuries, merchants in Liverpool were responsible for forcibly transporting over a million and a half Africans across the Atlantic to work as enslaved labourers on the plantations of the Caribbean as their ships carried a larger number of Africans than those of any other European port. White colonial owners used the enslaved Africans to produce sugar and other valuable tropical goods which were consumed at home in Britain. Liverpool and the slave trade is the first comprehensive account of the city's participation in the trade. It tells the story of the merchants and ships' captains who organised the trade and shows how they bought and sold Africans, how they treated the enslaved during the Atlantic voyage and how they and the wider community benefitted from the slave trade. It concludes with the efforts to end the trade and the legacy it has left in Liverpool and beyond. Drawing on the most recent research as well as extensive use of contemporary documents and personal testimonies and experiences to explore this history, Liverpool and the slave trade highlights an important part of the city's history which has for too long been rejected, forgotten or ignored."--Provided by publisher. 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 326.1(427.2)

Squadron : ending the African slave trade /John Broich. "The true account of the British Royal Navy's campaign to put an end to the African slave trade once and for all Despite the British being early abolitionists, a significant slave trade remained down the east coast of Africa through the mid-1800s. What further undermined the British Empire was that many of the vessels involved in the trade were themselves British ships. The Royal Navy's response was to dispatch a squadron to patrol Africa's coast. Following what began as a simple policing action, this is the story of the four Royal Naval officers who witnessed how rampant the slave trade remained and made it their personal mission to end it. When the disruption of the trade ships started to step on the toes of the wealthy merchant class, the campaign was cancelled. However, in the end a coalition of naval officers and abolitionists forced the British government's hand into eradicating the slave trade entirely. Squadron grew from historian John Broich's passion to hunt down first-hand accounts of this untold story. Through research from archives throughout the UK, Broich tells a tale of defiance in the face of political corruption, while delivering thrills in the tradition of high-seas heroism. If it weren't a true story, Squadron would be right at home alongside Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander series."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 326.8

The Royal Navy and the slave trade / Raymond Howell "The Royal Navy and the Slave Trade, first published in 1987, offers a detailed analysis of the Royal Navy?s slave trade suppression on the East Coast of Africa ? an area often neglected in studies of the campaigns against the slavers. It traces the naval impact on the Arab slave trade from Zanzibar dominions and the political implications of that involvement. The naval contribution to the broader ?Imperial? debate is also considered. It breaks new ground by dealing with naval operations off East Africa and by presenting an analysis of the interaction of the various Imperial officials in the region, and the subsequent development of British policy."--Provided by the publisher. 2023. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 326
