Question 3
8 marksStudy Source A below, then answer the question.
Source A: From a printed leaflet handed out by a local anti-slavery society in a Yorkshire town in 1830, three years before Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act. It was written to persuade townspeople to sign a petition and to attend a public meeting.
Written for practice: not a real historical source.
Reader, the trade in slaves was ended by Parliament in 1807, yet in our West Indian colonies men, women and children are still bought, sold and driven to labour in the cane fields. Will you be content that the sugar in your tea is the fruit of the whip? Our Society asks three things of you: refuse to buy slave-grown sugar; attend our meeting at the Assembly Rooms on Monday evening; and set your name to the petition we shall send to the House of Commons. Thousands of names have already been gathered in this county alone.
