Description: This lecture on the history of the British anti-slavery movement will cover the period from the 1770s until the 1830s and examine both the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 and the emancipation of slaves in the British empire in 1833. It will consider why, towards the end of the eighteenth century, after millennia in which slavery was an accepted institution in every civilisation, it came to be questioned and ended in Britain. It will draw on some of the latest research in the field.
