Merryweather & Seattle ( Lawrence Leadley, the Fiddler of Helperby), 1994; No. 81, pp. 48–49 (includes six sets of variations). What intrigued me most was the history behind the name, how confiscated cargo and vessels were handled, and the timelines. The author provided laws and cases of reference and discussed how the rescued enslaved and resources were impounded Laughably Evil: A bad guy is depicted in a humorous manner, despite (or perhaps because of) their villainous actions against others. The most notable fall from grace in recent months has been that of Shane Dawson. Once crowned the "King of YouTube" for reimagining the platform and popularizing long-form docu-series videos, his name is now associated with racism, pedophilia jokes, and sexualizing animals. To answer this question requires a deeper exploration of the transatlantic slave trade than many of us, especially in the United States, ever encountered in school. If your education was anything like mine, what we learned about the slave trade as children and teens—if we learned much of anything at all—can be distilled into two broad statements: it was extremely unpleasant, and it ended before the Civil War. Beyond these limited understandings, many seem to believe that after bans were enacted . . . sometime in the 1800s, slave trading came to a mostly natural end.

I just broke," he told Insider. "I cried right before I posted it. I cried while it was making it. And I was just very hurt by my own actions. And I was like, the only way I'm going to be able to start to heal from this is to make a video." I learned a lot about a topic that is a dark cloud in world history. But this did show how some countries were trying ti stop it, and others in this time frame, we’re not. Mostly due to other issues and conflicts. Well-researched and superbly penned!! This historical investigation of one ship against a world of opposition is an adventurous investigation that relates the historical fact with extraordinary feeling, transmitting all the tension imaginable as ships chased and dodged one another on eerie fog-heavy, shark-infested seas, during a time when domineering nations drew invisible lines in the earth and filled stolen lands with stolen lives. While this book describes the horrors of the slave trade, most of the book discusses many other topics, including the workings of the Royal Navy, the economics of the slave trade, epidemics and sea battles. The attempt to stop the slave trade was complicated by recalcitrant governments and wily ship captains. It was interesting that the slaves on the captured ships were not actually freed to return to their homes but became subject to whims and rules of the British. The book was extremely thorough and well-researched, but was written with a light touch so I never found it dull.

She was embroiled in deadly cannon battles, numerous bloody and hand-to-hand combats, and desperate pursuits across thousands of miles of ocean. Britain had abolished the slave trade in 1807, but halting it was another matter. "Portugal, Spain and Brazil had no intention of giving up slavery, and France had just reinstated it.

Congratulations to the author on a well researched and well written book. It's been years since I've found a particularly tasty sentence and passage to add to my folder of vocabulary and writings to keep around and enjoy later. This is an intelligent, fantastically interesting book, Rooks guides us through the slave trade, but more importantly highlights and emphasises how it still guides and shapes our modern lives. I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone who ‘thinks’ they know about the abolition of slavery, and to everyone interested in unlearning or learning some truths and facts they won’t know and won’t always want to know, but they need to.
