- Title
Abolition's Adolescence: Apprenticeship as 'Liberation' in Sierra Leone, 1808–1848*.
- Authors
Anderson, Richard
- Abstract
The article focuses on how apprenticeship served as a liberation for children in the slave trade in Sierra Leone between 1808 and 1848. Topics include the passage of the American 1807 Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, how this legislation forced the British Royal Navy's anti-slavery squadron to divert slave vessels to the abolitionist-founded colony of Sierra Leone, and the resettlement of hundreds of children who disembarked at Freetown.
