The History of the Rise, Progress & Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave-Trade, by the British Parliament Vol 2 by Thomas Clarkson Here is a detailed, remarkably thorough history of the abolition of the slave trade by the British, from June 1788 to July 1807. Having travelled and labored to collect evidence and witness all the important decisions, improvements, and declarations that finally led to the abolition of the trade of human beings, the author delivers an amazingly complete account of this accomplishment. Detailing all the steps of this long and arduous endeavor, as well as the personalities who made it possible, and strove towards the final success of their goal, this volume states how it was finally discovered and proven that the advantages of the African slave trade were insignificant compared with the human crime that this meant. It is not only an accurate account of a historical phenomenon, it is also a touching and inspiring instance of a fight for a good cause.468 pages. 4.5 x 7 inches. Volume 2 only.
