A six-part dramatised documentary series
2: One Man's Property Written and introduced by EVAN JONES
In the 18th century, sugar planters in the West Indies had the power of life or death over their slaves.
But was it lawful for one man to be the property of another on the soil of England? That question had to be decided in 1772 by the Lord Chief Justice in the first great milestone in the fight against slavery - the Somerset Case.
