The Most Important Story You Don't Know, Part I - The Fight To End the Slave Trade (My Kind of History)


Listen Later

In this episode, Adam discusses the fight to end the slave trade - the story of the first global social justice movement. He discusses the economic underpinnings of this vile trade and the people brave enough to bring it to its knees. The first episode of this series focuses on Granville Sharp, a forgotten abolitionist who single-handedly kicked off the British Abolition movement. 


Today's episode is based off of Adam Hochschild's book Bury the Chains and my own research. Buy Bury the Chains here: https://www.amazon.com/Bury-Chains-Prophets-Rebels-Empires/dp/0618619070
