The buying, selling and transportation of enslaved people.
Used by OCR
Paper 3
Revise: Racial Ideology and the Roots of AbolitionismSlavery meant treating people as property and denying them freedom; the slave trade meant buying, selling and transporting enslaved people. Someone could object to the trade without demanding the immediate freedom of everyone already enslaved.
Distinguish opposition to harsh treatment, opposition to slavery itself and opposition to the slave trade: they were not identical positions.
Use the 1727 censure as evidence of developing opposition within Quakerism, not as evidence that Britain abolished slavery or the slave trade.
