Description

While Britain's role in the eighteenth-century Atlantic slave trade is well documented, the subsequent naval campaign to stop it remains less understood. In Opposing the Slavers, Peter Grindal provides a definitive account of the Royal Navy's efforts to suppress the slave trade following the passing of the Slave Trade Abolition Act of 1807. This work offers a comprehensive and engaging narrative of naval operations against traders from various nations, including Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and Brazil. Drawing on original sources, this book explores an important chapter of British, European, and American history. It details the struggle against illegal traders and the sustained naval operations used to combat the Atlantic slave trade. This is an essential read for those interested in world history, maritime operations, and the history of slavery and emancipation.
