Molina, Eric. "Les arguments des antiabolitionnistes anglais : 1763-1833." Bordeaux 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005BOR30030.
Full textFor many reasons, the abolition debate and its evolution in 18th century England , due to the arrival of a strong abolitionist current, can be distinguished from the other discourses on slavery which existed in the rest of Europe and in America at the same time. It will be contended that there is a real specificity in the English abolition debate compared with the other slave states, for several reasons that will be analyzed along three lines: first, the philosophical arguments will be examined, as well as the struggle of the supporters of slavery on political and religious grounds. We shall try to establish who the English antiabolitionists were , and how they tried to respond to the attacks of their opponents from the 1770's until the abolition in 1833. The second part will be dedicated to the economical aspects of the debate and will focus on their specificity in England, with the famous ‘Zong case'. We will also study the historical works on the subject, including the theories developed by Eric Williams in ‘Capitalism and Slavery' and David Brion Davis's ‘The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Revolution'. We will close this study of the pro slavery position in the Enlightenment by examining the juridical and judicial aspects and their consequences on the evolution of the debate in England, as illustrated by the ‘Somersett case'. The current thesis relies on a great number of primary sources
Dall'Olmo-Pichet, Véronique. "Hannah More : une femme d'ombres et de lumières." Bordeaux 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008BOR30039.
Full textHannah More (745-1833), was one of the most influential figures of her time and got involved in spheres as varied as literature, politics, slavery abolition, philanthropy or education. More started with a successful playwright career, she was welcomed by the women of the literary circle, called the Bluestockings'. In 1777, she was represented in the guise of the ninth muse by the painter Richard Samuel in his famous painting, exhibited at the Royal Academy and today at the National Portrait Gallery, in London, 'The Nine Living Muses of Great Britain'. In the 1780's, More committed herself to doing a long religious progression which ended with her conversion and transformed the literary woman into an active and fervent Evangelical. From then, More lived for and thanks to her religion. Thus, Hannah More's involvements, educative and political stances were all deeply rooted in her Evangelical creed. The French Revolution, the Terreur, and the Napoleonic wars marked Hannah More's political commitment. In this new role, and though she was inexperienced, More proved, a staunch conservative, an anti-revolutionary and a fierce opponent to the Radicals. Her political involvements, were mainly conveyed through the writings of conservative pamphlets and through a series of Cheap Repository Tracts, a form of popular literature which More excelled in. The debates which stirred British society, like the abolition of the slave trade, the fight against poverty, or, the debate on education allowed, the Evangelist Hannah More, to be understood by her contemporaries as an abolitionist, a philanthropist and a well-known educationalist. However, Hannah More's involvements, which were mainly induced by her friends' demands, with the exception of her commitment to the education of women of the elite, had the one and only goal to propagate her Evangelical message and to achieve her mission which aimed at proposing a moral reform in British society. In adopting a dogmatic attitude, which always lurked in the background, and made her consciously obey her religious and political conceptions, Hannah More could become a figure of her time and put herself in the foreground during around four decades. To reach this goal, Hannah More, the evangelical activist woman, showed her rigid and strict religious consistency. Though, this form of evangelical coherence took More away from reality, it allowed her, contrary to all expectations, to do something worthwhile and to accomplish her work with more or less success
Otele, Olivette. "Mémoire et politique : l'enrichissement de Bristol par le commerce triangulaire, objet de polémique." Paris 4, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA040131.
Full textThe city of Bristol has found itself at the centre of a historical turmoil related to its involvement in the triangular trade and the collective memory of that era. On the one hand, a few descendants of slave traders (plantation owners of the Caribbean and Bristol Merchant Venturers) claim to be very proud of their forefathers “entrepreneurial skills”, on the other hand, the black community is demanding that Bristol should pay tribute to the people who enabled it to become a rich city. Ethnic minority groups believe that there is a need for Bristolians to recognise that the present-day economic deprivation suffered by the Black community is directly related, in some measure, to the city's silence on this matter. The argument inherited from the slave trade era about racial hierarchy is the root of the question of re-writing history by a minority community as much as the way the black community is perceived in this society which is trying to define what it means to be British in this now more and more multicultural society. The City Council, reluctant at first to start a debate about the past, has been involved in a number of public gestures such as the opening of the permanent exhibition dedicated to the slave trade, Pero's Bridge, so on and so forth. Can the city be considered as an example of “Repentance and Réconcilation”? Even though public gestures about collective memories and remembrance are also politically motivated, is the city of Bristol heading nonetheless towards a peaceful collective memory?

Full textThe global study of the question of compensation granted to the slave-owners after the abolitions of slavery in the New World (1777-1888) is the ambition of this research, through the study of the aims of this measure, of its stakes and of its cost for the abolitionist States. This subject had never been analysed despite its frequency in the abolitionist processes. The originality of my scientific approach resides in the adoption of a comparative perspective and the selection of parliamentary debates as basis of the research. The British and the French processes of compensation have been isolated as the most representative of the whole panel of American abolitions of slavery. These two specific examples have been treated through primary sources, the others by existing secondary litterature. These primary sources are the debates of the British Chamber of the Commons and the French Chambre des députés, from 1788 to 1848. This research shows that the question of compensation constitutes a fondamental aspect of an abolition, despite the fact that it has been neglegted by the historians. Moreover, this research shows that the object of compensations granted after the abolitions of slavery participates in the concept of moral economy. Indeed this research broadens the angles generally presented by the specialists of the abolitions. If the problematic of compensation can be explained by juridical and economical elements, social and political factors must either be analysed to understand the complex problematic of an abolition

Full textThis dissertation explores the scope of the Scottish involvement in the British slave system that was implemented in the colonies of the New World from the 17th century onwards. In the wake of recent research revealing a growing interest for this specific issue, it aims at examining a problematic aspect of Scotland’s history, shedding some new light on the current debate about national identity in Scotland. This thesis dwells on the particular role played by the Scots in the economic development of the African slave trade and their participation in slave societies in the West Indies. This research also takes interest in the emergence of abolitionist ideas in Great Britain at the beginning of the 19th century and the part Scottish people played in the national debate. The main purpose is to determine whether there existed a Scottish specificity, regarding behaviours and ideology, in the British slave system and in the British abolitionist movement within the post-Union imperial context. The intent is not to single Scottish people out but rather to question the relevance of concepts such as « British slavery » and « British abolitionism ».Adopting a chronological approach, this thesis consists of three parts. First, it revolves around the development of the Scottish imperial ideology and of a colonial economic conception based on slavery. The second part dwells on the harsh reality of the slave system in the colonies and the role Scottish colonists played in it. Finally, the thesis tackles the philosophical, ideological and political contribution of Scottish people to the British abolitionist campaigns and examines their inclusion within this British scheme
McLean, Duncan Ross. "Robert Farquhar et la transformation de l'esclavage : une renaissance du travail non-libre au XIXe siècle." Paris, EHESS, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015EHES0053.
Full textRobert Farquhar had been an East India Company administrator in the Moluccas at the turn of the 19th century before assuming the governorship of Mauritius as a British civil servant, the latter recently captured during the Napoleonic Wars. It was during Farquhar's earlier stay in the Spice Islands that he became involved in the anti-slavery debate and the future of Caribbean sugar plantations. Given his experience as a colonial administrator, he was well aware of the economic consequences abolishing the Slave Trade would entail. Attuned to the shifting political winds, Farquhar published a treatise in 1807 under the title 'Suggestions, arising from the abolition of the African slave trade, for supplying the demands of the West India colonies'. His ideas were relatively novel in that they involved shifting large impoverished populations, in this case from rural China, to areas previously sustained by slave labour. While initially dismissed as unworkable many of Farquhar's proposals were later adopted in the now well-known practice of indentured labour. The thesis will examine the origins of Asian contract labour through this early proponent. By examining an extensive range of correspondence the evolution of Farquhar's political thought will be traced, culminating in the noted treatise, and his subsequent confrontation with the practical constraints of instituting a new system of unfree labour in Mauritius. In doing so it wil be necessary to place his work in the broader imperial context of the period, along with the specific regions to which he was posted. This will permit drawing conclusions regarding the conditions that led to Farquhar's proposal in addition to its eventual longevity
