Summary

We repeat this 5-part series in the light of recent discussions in the UK about apologising for/making reparations for enslavement and to dispel the myth, much trumpeted, that the British 'saw the light' first. Which we did not. We try to give a factual outline of the experience of being transported in horrendous conditions from Africa to the British Caribbean against your will. And we open up the debate started in 1938 by the brilliant young Trinidadian historian Eric Williams as to whether it was money or morality that ended British enslavement? The trade in the enslaved was banned in 1807, the enslaved were 'emancipated' in 1833.
