How the suppression of the slave trade and the "disposal" of liberated Africans shaped the emergence of modern humanitarianismBetween 1808 and 1867, the British navy seized nearly two thousand slave ships, "re-capturing" almost two hundred thousand enslaved people, who were then placed as liberated Africans across an "archipelago" of resettlement sites, including Sierra Leone, Cape Colony, the West Indies, Brazil, Cuba, and beyond.
