I thought mp William Wilberforce along with a group of anti-slave-trade activists, including Granville Sharp, Hannah More and Charles Middleton, et al, pushed through a law called Slave Trade Act of 1807 and slavery was abolish in Great Britain. Did the Bristol Merchant Venturers still ship slaves for other slave countries or still to the UK colonies after that law?
His great grandson Lord Richard Orme Wilberforce and notable high court judge((11 March 1907 – 15 February 2003),…” warned Parliament of a modern kind of “bonded labor.” This, he declared, had taken the place of slavery that William Wilberforce had denounced in the House of Commons as early as the 1780’s.
He said that whereas people may be freed from chattel servitude by breaking their chains, modern bonded labor enmeshes them in a whole skein of complex economic and political circumstances.
“You have to provide a system of good employment, schools for the children, and some system of land reform so that people can earn a living,” he told Parliament. “Bonded labor certainly is servitude, and in many ways it is worse.’ ”
