| Description: | This work is a history of the campaign that was waged by Great Britain in colonial Nigeria from about 1885 onward, to abolish the internal slave trade in the Bight of Biafra and its hinterland; a region also known as Eastern Nigeria, southeastern Nigeria, the Eastern Provinces or the trans-Niger provinces.1 To put it differently, it is the study of a policy and the attempt to implement that policy in practice as well as the study of the resistance to it by those against whom it was directed (or is it in whose interest it was designed?). It treats the internal slave trade and the war against it in this region and period as a separate theme from the institution of slavery in the same area and the campaign to root it out generally known as emancipation. |
