Book: Ireland, Slavery And Anti-slavery: 1645-1865 This book tackles a hitherto neglected topic, showing how slaves and sugar produced economic and political change in eighteenth-century Ireland and discussing the role of Irish emigrants in slave societies in the Caribbean and North America. It traces the development of the Irish anti-slavery movement explaining why it appealed to such prominent figures as Olaudah Equiano, Fredrick Douglass, and Daniel O'Connell.
