L3 Abolitionist sugar bowl
The campaigners against slavery did everything they could to get their views known. This is a sugar bowl made by campaigners. In this way you could show the people who visited your house that you were boycotting sugar made by slaves and only eating sugar made by free people. It is in some ways the equivalent of people today deciding to only drink Fair Trade coffee (commerce équitable).
