The British government used diplomacy, pressure, and violence to suppress the slave trade, while the Royal Navy enforced abolition worldwide and an anxious public debated the true responsibilities of an anti-slavery nation. This crusade was far from altruistic or compassionate, but Richard Huzzey argues that it forged national debates and political culture long after the famous abolitionist campaigns of William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson had faded into memory. These anti-slavery passions shaped racist and imperialist prejudices, new forms of coerced labor, and the expansion of colonial possessions. In a sweeping narrative that spans the globe, Freedom Burning explores the intersection of philanthropic, imperial, and economic interests that underlay Britain's anti-slavery zeal- from London to Liberia, the Sudan to South Africa, Canada to the Caribbean, and the British East India Company to the Confederate States of America. Through careful attention to popular culture, official records, and private papers, Huzzey rewrites the history of the British Empire and a century-long effort to end the global trade in human lives.Antislavery movementsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryAbolitionistsGreat BritainHistory19th centurySlave tradeGreat BritainPublic opinionHistory19th centuryImperialismGreat BritainPublic opinionHistory19th centuryPublic opinionGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPolitics and cultureGreat BritainHistory19th centuryGreat BritainPolitics and government1837-1901anti-slavery politics and culture in victorian Britain, queen victoria and anti-slavery, slavery abolition act, when did Britain abolish slavery, role of british anti-slavery politics in the foreign office.Antislavery movementsHistoryAbolitionistsHistorySlave tradePublic opinionHistoryImperialismPublic opinionHistoryPublic opinionHistoryPolitics and cultureHistory326/.8094109034Huzzey Richard1982-1507047MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785518603321Freedom burning3737509UNINA05182nam 22006254a 450 991083096570332120230617035350.01-280-52059-097866105205963-527-60572-X3-527-60553-3(CKB)1000000000376392(EBL)481634(OCoLC)68940582(SSID)ssj0000159739(PQKBManifestationID)11155614(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000159739(PQKBWorkID)10181775(PQKB)10556167(MiAaPQ)EBC481634(EXLCZ)99100000000037639220060907d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrFunctional synthetic receptors[electronic resource] /Thomas Schrader, Andrew D.
