About this Item

"The debate of this date was one of the most important in the history of the anti-slavery struggle. It resulted in a victory for the colonial party, the latter securing a pledge from the House to support gradual rather than immediate abolition, as Wilberforce had desired. Pitt delivered his speech in support of Wilberforce at 4 a.m." - Ragatz. Although immediate abolition did not result, the fact that Pitt threw his support behind Wilberforce resulted in a compromise that set Great Britain irrevocably on the path to abolition. RAGATZ, p.539. SABIN 63097. ESTC T4829. Dbd. Titlepage partially detached. Faint toning and foxing. Very good.
