A six-part dramatised documentary series
3: A Matter of Insurance Written and introduced byEVAN JONES
It was easy enough for 18th-century England to grow wealthy from the profits of the slave trade without being greatly troubled by its horrors. It needed a major atrocity to stir the conscience of the nation. In 1779 there was just such an event.
