Moreover, their involvement proved to be an important factor in ending the slave trade, and later slavery, in both the British Empire and in America. While Frederick Douglass remains the most renowned black abolitionist to visit Ireland, he was not the only one. This publication traces the stories of ten black abolitionists, including Douglass, who travelled to Ireland in the decades before the American Civil War, to win support for their cause. It opens with former slave, Olaudah Equiano, kidnapped as a boy from his home in Africa, and who was hosted by the United Irishmen in the 1790s; it closes with the redoubtable Sarah Parker Remond, who visited Ireland in 1859 and chose never to return to America. The stories of these ten men and women, and their interactions with Ireland, are diverse and remarkable"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in modern European history ;$v80. 606 $aAbolitionists$zIreland$vBiography 607 $aIreland$xRace relations$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aAbolitionists 676 $a326.80922417 676 $a326.80922 700 $aKinealy$b Christine$01611889 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861046603321 996 $aBlack Abolitionists in Ireland$94167376 997 $aUNINA
