Description
The Scots made a unique though not fully recognized contribution to the destruction of black slavery. This book begins with a Virginian slave seeking his freedom in Scotland in 1756 and ends with the abolition of the apprenticeship scheme in the West Indian colonies in 1838, including many stories told here for the first time.
