Banjo Strings and Drinking Gourds

Abolition Pt. 2


Listen Later

On this second episode on abolition, we focus on British abolitionists. Britian abolished slavery long before the United States and enforced the ban on the international slave trade, but just how did that come about? Who was involved? We answer those questions.  

Note: This episode contains contemporary quotes that use language which today is considered offensive.
