Tony’s Reviews > Bury the Chains: The British Struggle to Abolish Slavery > Status Update

There's so much in this book that gives one hope in dark political times without glossing over the financial benefits that Britain had gained from slavery and other issues. Also I'd never heard of the Sugar Boycott (decades before the word boycott was actually coined.)

From the library. This is my non-fiction read of the moment. The early part is contextualising the true brutality and greed of the British slave trade before the campaign to end slavery began. "The Caribbean was a slaughterhouse."
