The Great Abolition Sham

The True Story Of The End Of The British Slave Trade.

Britons may very well never be slaves, but British rule certainly meant slavery for others. Michael Jordan's book explores the personalities and the issues behind the movement to abolish first the slave trade and later the condition of slavery. 'The Great Abolition Sham' reveals the passionate arguments on both sides of the abolition debate, revealing a society undergoing great change and individuals who had high ideals, but were not averse to using whatever methods they could to win their case.
