SQUADRON
ENDING THE
AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE
JOHN BROICH
IS b w images and 3 maps
Despite the British being early abolitionists, a sig-
nificant slave trade remained up tbe east coast of
Africa through the mid-1800s, even after the Civil War
ended it in the United States. Further undermining the
British Empire was the fact that many of the vessels
involved in the trade were themselves British ships.
The Royal Navy’s response was to dispatch a squad-
ron to patrol Africa’s coast. Following what began as
a simple policing action, this is the story of four Royal
Naval officers who witnessed how rampant the slave
trade remained and made it their personal mission to
end it. When the disruption in trade ships started to step
on toes within the wealthy merchant class, the campaign
was cancelled. However, in the end a coalition of naval
officers and abolitionists forced the British government’s
hand into eradicating the slave trade entirely.
Squadron grew from historian John Broich’s passion
to hunt down firsthand accounts of this untold story.
Through research from archives throughout the UK,
Broich tells a tale of defiance in the face of political cor-
ruption, while delivering thrills in the tradition of high
seas heroism. If it weren’t a true story, Squadron would
be right at home alongside Patrick: O’Brian’s Master
and Commander series.
