British firm persists in enslaving Africans in Guyana
Evidence has emerged that Sandbach, Tinne and Company continued illegal slave trading to Guyana after Britain abolished slavery, using a 1847 letter describing the arrival of a ship with enslaved Africans. The company, linked to major compensation recipients, apparently trafficked people from Africa despite the 1807 abolition of the slave trade and the 1833 abolition of slavery. The findings, detailed in Malik Al Nasir’s book, reveal that warehouses and networks involved in enslaving Africans persisted beyond official bans.
