Title: Bury the chains: the British struggle to abolish slavery / Adam Hochschild [Go to resource]
Description: This is the story of a handful of men led by Thomas Clarkson who defied the slave trade and ignited the first great human rights movement. Beginning in 1788 a group of Abolitionists moved the cause of anti-slavery from the floor of Parliament to the homes of 300 000 people boycotting Caribbean sugar and gave a platform to freed slaves.
