What you'll learn

  • 1The transatlantic slave trade formed a 'triangular trade': British ships carried goods to Africa, enslaved people from Africa to the Caribbean and Americas, and plantation goods like sugar back to Britain.
  • 2Abolitionists such as William Wilberforce and formerly enslaved writers such as Olaudah Equiano campaigned for decades before slavery was made illegal.
  • 3The British Nationality Act of 1948 gave people in Commonwealth countries the right to live and work in Britain, encouraging migration to fill post war labour shortages.
  • 4Many Windrush generation migrants faced racism, including being refused housing and jobs, despite holding British citizenship and having been invited to help rebuild the country.
