Episode notes
The abolition of the slave trade and slavery itself had contradictory legacies. Abolitionists are credited with ending the slave trade, but the process was complex and involved multiple steps, including a shocking period of apprenticeship where the enslaved were still exploited. The legacy of abolition includes the birth of movements like anti-slavery international and the suffragettes, but it also led to an increase in racism as black individuals did not meet the expectations of the abolitionists, resulting in narratives of ingratitude and deserving of slavery.
