There has been a fixation on the central issue of money, and so the abolitionist strategy of showing the causes of slavery in abstract market forces rather than as choices of individuals is amplified and the individuals are hidden. #historyteacher

…or to pedestal those slave traders who became philanthropists - like Sir John Cass, Edward Colston and Tobias Rustat - as the leaders of the slave trade. #historyteacher

When Britons have considered importance of slavery, they have often off-shored its causes and effects to either the Americas or to Africa. British society has also largely followed the abolitionist tendency to localise the causes and effects of slavery to certain port cities… #historyteacher

This book will become a thread, I can guarantee it #historyteacher #currentlyreading
