Sumario:The abolition of the slave trade is normally understood to be the singular achievement of eighteenth-century British liberalism. Abolitionism and Imperialism in Britain, Africa, and the Atlantic expands both the temporal and the geographic framework in which the history of abolitionism is conceived.

The Atlantic was an echo chamber, in which abolitionist symbols, ideas, and evidence were generated from.
