British Slavers: A Comment

Author

  • Drescher, Seymour

Abstract

In his essay J. E. Inikori argues that the British slavers “had freedom to carry as many slaves per ship as possible†to foreign colonies after 1788.1 He takes issue with my argument in Econocide that the British regulatory acts applied equally to those in the British direct trade to foreign colonies.2 In support of this he cites instances of British slave ships that undoubtedly loaded far more than the allowed slaves per ton in 1803.
