Abstract:
Appeals to members of the British public urging them to refrain from purchasing West Indian sugar and rum which are produced by slaves. The writer(s) argue that ceasing to purchase these products will help to end the slave trade. They further argue that the introduction of anti-slave trade legislation alone is not enough to end slavery. ( en )
