This collection explores and offers varying perspectives on the explosive debate around the Transatlantic Slave Trade during the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. The documents, through a combination of correspondence, pamphlets, memoirs, and statistics, track both the proliferation of British power and the enslavement it was built upon, as well as the moral critiques that arose as a reaction to the horrific practice.
This trial runs through July 10, 2026.
