Liz
I must have missed your original request - Perhaps you could add the
following information about a document available free on my website, and
which supports a teachers pack based around resources at the Wisbech &
Fenland Museum
Thomas Clarkson and the Abolition of Slavery
As an aid to students of the Abolition of Slavery and because it will soon
be 200 years since Britain abolished the Transatlantic Slave Trade in 2007,
it has been decided to make the first section of the Thomas Clarkson & The
Abolition of Slavery Teachers Pack (the background information) by Maureen
James B.Ed MA, freely available as a PDF on the Telling History website -
www.tellinghistory.co.uk
Contents of this PDF document are arranged under key questions-
1. Why did a need develop for the transatlantic slave trade?
2. How was slavery organised in the British West Indies?
3. How “free” were the people of West Africa before the growth of the
transatlantic slave trade?
4. Were the crews on the slave ships treated as badly as the captives
before abolition?
5. How did the situation of Black people in Britain compare with that
of the White poor before the abolition of slavery?
6. What ideas sustained Thomas Clarkson during the abolition campaign?
7. How successful was the campaign in abolishing the slave trade?
8. What effect did British abolition have on the transatlantic slave
trade and Africa?
9. How important was Thomas Clarkson to the town of Wisbech in his
lifetime?
10. How does Thomas Clarkson deserve to be remembered?
11. What ideas from the time of the slave trade contribute to modern day
racism?
If you have a website that you would like to link to this page on my site, I
would be more than happy to arrange this.
