A new history of the abolition of the British slave trade

William Lloyd Garrison (1805-79) was one of the most militant and uncompromising abolitionists in the United States. This book presents six essays that reevaluate Garrison's legacy, his accomplishments, and his limitations. It reflects on Garrison as a political activist, an internationalist, an advocate of feminism, and more.

Two epochal developments profoundly influenced the history of the Atlantic world between 1770 and 1870 - the rise of women's rights activism and the drive to eliminate chattel slavery.

This title presents an account of the slave trade within the nations and colonial systems of the Americas. The essays in this volume focus on the slave trades within Brazil, the West Indies, and the Southern states of the United States after the closing of the Atlantic slave trade.
