House of Lords Debates on Sierra Leone Slave Trade
The Lords clash over the Sierra Leone trade and abolition bill. Grenville, Westmorland, and Grenoiu challenge peers’ dignity while contending that abolition must proceed on justice. Supporters cite profits of the Sierra Leone Company and argue restricting the coast trade harms neither colonies nor humanity. The house adjourns after a lengthy debate with a narrow majority against going into committee.
