Slavery has a long history. In the Bible, Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery, and the Israelites were slaves in Egypt until God freed them. Even much more recently, people were kidnapped and made to work. For a while,Christians ignored that slavery is wrong and acted like that enslaved people were not their neighbors.
But a lot of Christians realised they were wrong, and between 1688 and 1888 AD there was a big fight to put a stop to slavery. This is the story of these Christians who loved their neighbors and how they fought to free them. This vital resource for educating young readers documents the story of how the abolition of the slave trade came about internationally, and also informs readers of facts about modern slavery.
