Gold Silver and Slaves: Britain and the Slave Trade
</div></center> This is the untold story of the greatest slaving nation in history. Up till now, Britain’s place in the history of slavery has been as the country that abolished the international slave trade.<p> Britain’s Slave Trade reveals the shameful truth behind this liberal facade, showing how the economic, social and cultural life of Britain would have been unrecognisable without slavery. Britain’s Slave Trade explains how a middling European power transformed itself into the ruler of the waves, tracing the impact this had on the British way of life and taking in the Industrial Revolution, the beginnings of Empire and the birth of modern racism along the way. It also unearths startling evidence showing how many families that think of themselves as ‘pure’ English stock are in fact descended from slave ancestors.</p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/18305652557419755386' itemprop='url'/> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/18305652557419755386' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>James Barrett</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://soulvlog.blogspot.com/2023/08/gold-silver-and-slaves-britain-and.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://soulvlog.blogspot.com/2023/08/gold-silver-and-slaves-britain-and.html?m=1' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2023-08-19T10:42:00+01:00'>10:42 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> </div> </div> </div> <div class='comments' id='comments'> <a name='comments'></a> <h4>No comments:</h4> <div id='Blog1_comments-block-wrapper'> <dl class='avatar-comment-indent' id='comments-block'> </dl> </div> <p class='comment-footer'> <div class='comment-form'> <a name='comment-form'></a> <h4 id='comment-post-message'> <a href='javascript:void(0)' id='Blog1_comment-editor-toggle-link'>Post a Comment</a></h4> <p> </p> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/frame/23765172?po=7781305976680971801&hl=en&saa=85391&origin=https://soulvlog.blogspot.com&m=1' id='comment-editor-src'></a> <iframe allowtransparency='true' class='blogger-iframe-colorize blogger-comment-from-post' frameborder='0' height='410px' id='comment-editor' name='comment-editor' src='' style='display: none' width='100%'>
