L3 civilisation britannique - pro and anti slavery documents
This link takes you to a gallery where you can see a seried of images of anti-slavery political campaigns, and some proslavery ones. Notice in particular the extremely popular images with the slogan "Am I not a man and a brother?" and the feminine equivalent.
Are there any signs of the attitides of the abolitionists in these documents. Is there anything surprising about them ?
