| Zusammenfassung: | "In the years following the Glorious Revolution, independent slave traders challenged the charter of the Royal African Company by asserting their natural rights as Britons to trade freely in enslaved Africans. In this comprehensive history of the rise and fall of the RAC, William A. Pettigrew grounds the transatlantic slave trade in politics, not economic forces, analyzing the ideological arguments of the RAC and its opponents in Parliament and in public debate. Ultimately, Pettigrew powerfully reasons that freedom became the rallying cry for those who wished to participate in the slave trade and therefore bolstered the expansion of the largest intercontinental forced migration in history. Unlike previous histories of the RAC, Pettigrew's study pursues the Company's story beyond the trade's complete deregulation in 1712 to its demise in 1752. Opening the trade led to its escalation, which provided a reliable supply of enslaved Africans to the mainland American colonies, thus playing a critical part in entrenching African slavery as the colonies' preferred solution to the American problem of labor supply"-- |

years following the Glorious
Revolution, independent slave trad-
challenged the
charter
of the
Royal African Company by assert-
,Jr natural rights as Britons to trade
freely in enslaved Africans, In this com¬
prehensive history of the rise and rail of
the
RAC,
William A. Pettigrew grounds
the transatlantic slave trade in politics not
economic
forco,
analyzing the ideological
arguments of the
RAC
and its opponents
in Parliament and in public debate. Ulti¬
mately, Pettigrew powerfully reasons that
freedom became the rallying cry tor those
who wished to participate in the slave
trade and therefore bolstered the expan¬
sion of the largest intercontinental forced
migration in history.
Unlike previous histories
oí
the
RAC,
Pettigrew s study pursues the company s
story beyond the trade s complete deregu¬
lation in 1712 to its demise in
1752.
Open¬
ing the trade led to its escalation, which
provided a reliable supply of enslaved Af¬
ricans to the mainland American colonies,
thus playing a critical part in entrenching
African slavery as the colonies preferred
solution to the American problem oflabor
William A. Pettigrew is lecturer in history

For the firs: time, the origins of the British slave trade receive
the searching inquiry they long have deserved. With Freedoms Debt,
Pettigrew tells a new story about the political foundations ot the traffic
a> well as the ideological seeds or its dissolution.
Christopher Leslie Brown, Columbia University
With startling precision,
Pettigrew
reveals the role of liberal political
and market institutions in bringing about the massive eighteenth-century
acceleration
oí
the British Atlantic slave trade. All of us must ponder this
deeply researched account of how a distinctively British conception of
freedom drove the expansion ot slavery.
ChristopherTomlins, University of California, Irvine
Petrigreu powerfully demonstrates the importance or both political
contestation and capitalist disagreements
Ín
the emergence ot tbe trans¬
atlantic slave trade. In so doing, be skillfully shifts our focus From the
heroic story or abolition to an earlier, more political account ot the origins
of the slave trade itself and
tbc
subsequent move to abolish it.

In this comprehensive history of the rise and fall of the RAC, William A. Pettigrew grounds the transatlantic slave trade in politics, not economic forces, analyzing the ideological arguments of the RAC and its opponents in Parliament and in public debate. Ultimately, Pettigrew powerfully reasons that freedom became the rallying cry for those who wished to participate in the slave trade and therefore bolstered the expansion of the largest intercontinental forced migration in history. Unlike previous histories of the RAC, Pettigrew's study pursues the Company's story beyond the trade's complete deregulation in 1712 to its demise in 1752. Opening the trade led to its escalation, which provided a reliable supply of enslaved Africans to the mainland American colonies, thus playing a critical part in entrenching African slavery as the colonies' preferred solution to the American problem of labor supply"-- Royal African Company / History Royal African Company (DE-588)3017322-X gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1700-1800 Geschichte 1600-1700 Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Slave-trade / Political aspects / Great Britain / History / 17th century Slave-trade / Political aspects / Great Britain / History / 18th century Slave-trade / Africa / History Slave-trade / West Indies, British / History Slavery / Law and legislation / Great Britain / History Geschichte Politik Recht Sklaverei Sklavenhandel (DE-588)4198287-3 gnd rswk-swf Afrika Großbritannien Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 gnd rswk-swf Westindien (DE-588)4079228-6 gnd rswk-swf Royal African Company (DE-588)3017322-X b Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 g Westindien (DE-588)4079228-6 g Sklavenhandel (DE-588)4198287-3 s Geschichte z DE-604 Digitalisierung UB Bayreuth - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=026867523&sequence=000003&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Bayreuth - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=026867523&sequence=000004&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
