Debate on Abolition of the Slave Trade in Parliament
The lengthy discussion centers on abolition versus gradual reform. Speakers argue moral wrongs, economic risks, and enforcement challenges across Africa and the West Indies, with Fox urging immediate abolition and Dundas favoring cautious, regulated change. The vote ends with a strong majority for gradual abolition, while Pitt and others push for immediacy.
