About This Item
An Occasional Discourse, Preached . in York, Jan. 27, 1788 on the Subject of the African Slave Trade.
This work is part of a late eighteenth century movement to abolish the slave trade that culminated with the Slave Trade Act in 1807. The mission of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade was to inform the public of the immoral acts committed by slavery, to bring about laws abolishing the slave trade and to enforce these laws on the high seas and in West Africa, allowing Africans to live free of the risk of capture and sale. The Society pursued these proposals by writing and publishing anti-slavery books, abolitionist prints, posters and pamphlets, and organizing lecture tours in towns and cities.
