In the mid-17th Century, Britain dominated the Slave Trade, shipping over 3 million enslaved Africans across the Atlantic. Conditions on board slave ships were inhumane, and large numbers of enslaved men, women, and children died en-route. However, during the 18th and early 19th centuries, certain individuals started to speak up and demand an end to slavery. So who were these courageous pioneers, brave enough to challenge the status-quo? How did they fight the establishments? And what of the enslaved people who made their voices heard against all odds? This is a Short History Of the Abolition of the British Slave Trade. Written by David Jackson. With thanks to Trevor Burnard, Wilberforce Professor of Slavery and Emancipation, and Director at the Wilberforce Institute, University of Hull.

Donate by visiting www.patreon.com/trucepodcast The British slave trade had several well-known opponents: William Wilberforce and John Newton (who wrote "Amazing Grace") to name a few. But historian Adam Hochschild ("King Leopold's Ghost", "To End All Wars") argues that history has largely forgotten the most valuable member of the abolition movement: Thomas Clarkson. Clarkson was in charge of gathering and disseminating information across the British Isles. He fought for years to end the slave trade and then slavery itself. This movement is important for many reasons. It was the first to use logos, a coordinated marketing campaign, and it established a high bar for investigative journalism. It was also an ecumenical movement. In this episode we explore slavery, the importance of slave rebellions, the power of ecumenical efforts, and the book "Bury the Chains". I mentioned the so-called Curse of Ham in the episode. Learn more about it here. Helpful discussion questions: Had you heard of Thomas Clarkson before this episode? Do you participate in any cross-denominational movements? Where do you draw the line? Has your church ever participated in anti-racism movements? Was there any wisdom in ending the slave trade first? Why do you think John Newton didn't give up the slave trade as soon as he became a Christian? Was it possible to be a Christian and own slaves? Do you think humanity will ever go back to slavery?

It wasn't until recently that researchers working in the national archive in London discovered the extent to which ordinary people in Britain had been involved in the slave trade in the 18th and early 19th century. Louise Hidalgo has been talking to Dr Nick Draper, who uncovered volumes of records detailing the thousands of people who claimed compensation when slavery was abolished in Britain in 1834. He and colleagues at University College London set up the Legacies of British Slave-ownership database, documenting this forgotten part of Britain's history.

The 17th century colonisation of North America and the Caribbean by emigrants from the British Isles was, almost from its beginning, dependent on the brutal forced transatlantic migration of millions of enslaved African people. Their labour made possible the industrial-scale production of lucrative crops such as tobacco, sugar and cotton which created the wealth, not just of individual British plantation owners, but of much of the wider British economy.  Much of this history has remained hidden and only very recently have serious attempts begun to investigate and acknowledge the role that slavery played in Britain's wealth, power and influence. But what if those investigations lead to your own front door and start to shatter your family myths? Mukti Jain Campion explores this dark strand of British emigration history with: Professor Matthew Smith, Director of the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slave-ownership at University College London Madge Dresser, Honorary Professor of History, Bristol University and author of Slavery Obscured Oliver Colegrave and his father Stephen Colegrave, co-founder of the Byline Times Sally Hadden, Associate Professor of History, Western Michigan University and author of Slave Patrols: Law and Violence in Virginia and the Carolinas   A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Readings: Udoka Oyeka and Adrian Preater Music: Shakira Malkani   Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

Britain was one the leaders of the slave trade, profiting from buying and selling slaves in multiple countries. When the British Government banned it in the 1830s, the owners, not the slaves, were compensated. Their descendants were beneficiaries of that trade - and the compensation - and some of them came to Australia, bringing their slave-owning beliefs to positions of influence.

For too long the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade in 1807 and slavery in the British colonies in the Americas in 1833 have dominated the ways in which Britons have (mis)remembered slavery. The Legacies of British Slave-ownership project at UCL set out to re-think the history of Britain's long involvement with the slavery business across the Atlantic through exploring British slave-owners. When slavery was abolished, £20 million was paid in compensation to the owners for the loss of what was defined as their property. Almost half this money came to Britons. We followed the money, establishing who got it and, in so far as has been possible, what did they do with it and with the power they derived from it? Was it invested in railways and banking, or spent on country houses, or used to buy art works? How significant is this history to the establishment of racial hierarchies both in Britain and the Caribbean? Compensation was our starting point, but in exploring the longer histories of British ownership of land and people in the Caribbean the deep entanglements between metropole and colony have been excavated.

Institute of Historical Research Documenting British slave-owners in the Caribbean c.1763 - c.1860 Keith McClelland (University College London) Digital History seminar series

The history of British slavery, although superficially acknowledged from time to time, has been largely concealed. Indeed, few acts of political and historical forgetting could be described as thorough or as effective as the erasure of slavery from the "British story". The compensation of Britain’s 46,000 slave-owners was the largest bailout in British history until the bailout of the banks in 2009. Not only did the enslaved receive nothing, but they effectively paid part of the bill for their own manumission. "Legacies of British Slave-ownership" is the umbrella for two unprecedented projects based at University College London (UCL) tracing the impact of slave-ownership on the formation of modern Britain. At the same time, questions are raised surrounding the enslaved themselves, their stories, and their legacies. As the project notes, the role played by the British crown, state, families and individuals in the slave trade, slave-ownership and the wider slavery business has been largely written out of British history. Rather, British involvement in slavery is most commonly viewed through the lens of the abolitions of the slave trade (1807) and slavery (1834). Thus the wealth, social standing and political clout gained by involvement in the slavery business has been greatly underestimated. This research is part of the wider work being done by many others to rebalance the British national narrative, by reinserting slavery and its legacies into it. Kristy Warren, a research associate at the project, will deliver a talk on the process of the project itself and its significance, its continuation into the next phase, its engagement with young people through outreach work in Hackney, and the political and historical significance of British colonial slavery, uncovering a scale and depth which has not been fully appreciated until now.

Oxford historian Janina Ramirez picks out some of the most remarkable saints from the early medieval period.

UCL academics from UCL History, spent three years drawing together 46,000 records of compensation given to British slave-owners into an internet database called the 'Encyclopaedia of British Slave-ownership' to be launched for public use on Wednesday, 27th February 2013. Here Catherine Hall, Professor of Modern British Social and Cultural History, explains the legacies of British slave-ownership and the research undertaken on the project to bring together the wealth of information contained within the database. The Encyclopaedia of British Slave-ownership will be available at the following website: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/ UCL is consistently ranked as one of the world's top universities. Across all disciplines our faculties are known for their research-intensive approaches, academic excellence and engagement with global challenges.
