Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Two hundred years ago, on 25 March 1807, the kidnapping, trafficking and sale of black Africans as slaves became illegal throughout the British Empire. The Slave Trade Act was the result of a long campaign fought against bitter resistance, to bring to an end four hundred years of profit for a few and hell for many. To Western historians, it was known as the triangular trade, or Atlantic trade. To Africans it has become known as Maafa, the Kiswahili word for 'holocaust' or 'great disaster'. To those who profited from dealing in human flesh, it was known simply as 'The Trade'. At its height, the Trade was a highly organised, international, commercial venture that had the potential to generate vast profit. There were risks, but at its peak, the trade made Bristol the second port in the country and its subsequent wealth was derived from the proceeds of the Atlantic slave trade. The city's lucrative sugar and tobacco industries were fuelled by the Trade, making an already wealthy city even wealthier; many of the great and good of Bristol were involved, and money from this enterprise ultimately paid for the University, many of the great Clifton buildings and Bristol's almshouses and schools. The story of Bristol's involvement in the Trade provides an original insight into the way port cities around the world profited from the Maafa. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: New. Reissue. Bristol has a rich historical heritage dating back to the city's beginnings in Anglo-Saxon times. For centuries, it was England's second city and, as a thriving port, its past is steeped in its involvement in trade, whether of cloth, wine, pottery, glass - or slaves. As there is no commercial shipping now, much of Bristol's past is hidden within the modern city, just out of sight, but waiting to be discovered. Lost Bristol is an exploration of Bristol's hidden past, its ways of life, legends, relationship with the sea and its role in English history.The book includes some of the more famous aspects of the city's past, as well as stories and information unknown even to most locals. In an informed and entertaining style, Victoria Coules uncovers events and episodes such as the 1793 bridge toll riots, the jurisdiction of the Knights Templar over certain areas in Bristol and the creation of the Floating Harbour. Lost Bristol also reveals how a 13th century quay became a traffic roundabout, what happened to Bristol's own hot water spa and why Bristol cod merchants were also intrepid explorers.Many more surprising and remarkable stories about Bristol's past, accompanied by maps, engravings and photographs, make this book essential reading for all those curious about the city's hidden history.…
