  • The Old Corruption challenges the accepted version of the history of abolition, that the passive, suffering slaves were freed by benevolent white crusaders, revealing the corruption of the plantations owners, and how the inhuman treatment of African people was finally acknowledged.
    This is the untold story of the greatest slaving nation in history. Up till now, Britain’s place in the history of slavery has been as the country that abolished the international slave trade.
    Britain’s Slave Trade reveals the shameful truth behind this liberal facade, showing how the economic, social and cultural life of Britain would have been unrecognisable without slavery. Britain’s Slave Trade explains how a middling European power transformed itself into the ruler of the waves, tracing the impact this had on the British way of life and taking in the Industrial Revolution, the beginnings of Empire and the birth of modern racism along the way. It also unearths startling evidence showing how many families that think of themselves as ‘pure’ English stock are in fact descended from slave ancestors.

    When I was 13 years old I was getting a daily whipping with the belt. One time when I was 14 years old I rebelled and ran off when my father was going to give me my daily whipping. He yelled for me to stop, and shouted he was going to give me 100 lashes if I didn't come back. I ran to my neighbors house and tried to hide under their station wagon. My father and my older brother grabbed me by my legs and wrenched me out. I held on with all my might but My grip failed as my arm was dislocated from my shoulder. I was taken home and my father made good on his threat. I received 100 lashes from his belt. I was bruised and bleeding from my shoulders to my knees on the back of my legs. There wasn't any child protection agencies in those days. I ran away from home and set out on my own at age 15, and made a pact with myself to never hit any of my children. I'm 65 years old now, and my 1st and only wife is 39. I have 4 beautiful children with her all under the age of 9. We all love each other so much. They have made it possible for me to realize how much I appreciate what I was robbed of when I was a child.

      Douglass then asks a rhetorical question: "Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us [blacks]?" He pushes forward his thesis: "This Fourth July [sic] is yours, not mine" [italics his]. Indeed, he says, to ask a black person to celebrate the white man's freedom from oppression and tyranny is "inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony." By "sacrilegious," he means the evil defilement of sacred American ideals - democracy, freedom, and equal rights.
