[edit] How to clean up this article

This article desparately needs a map. I couldn't point out where these places are with a map in front of me.

It should probably have an intro that explains that there was slavery there, and why, how long, and by whom/of whom.

Needs some sections

The article needs references to the historians that argue the different causes and motives behind the abolition movement. The Carrington - Drescher debate may be of some value.

[edit] This article

This article does duplicate a lot of information available elsewhere, in articles on the Abolition of Slavery, etc and individual campaigners. But I do think it has value, nevertheless. I cannot believe that there is no mention of William Wilberforce. I will attempt to adress these issues in the coming weeks. – Agendum (talk) 09:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
