In the letter, Sharp demands that the Admiralty bring murder charges against the crew of the <em>Zong</em> for forcing 132 enslaved Africans overboard to their deaths. Uncovered by Michelle Faubert at the British Library in 2015, the letter is reproduced here, accompanied by her examination of its provenance and significance for the history of slavery and abolition. As Faubert argues, the British Library manuscript is the only fair copy of Sharps letter, and extraordinary evidence of Sharps role in the abolition of slavery.</p>...3101567Granville Sharps Uncovered Letter and the Zong Massacre11711301https://www.gandhi.com.mx/granville-sharps-uncovered-letter-and-the-zong-massacre-9783319927862/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2314825/0621f805-1155-4271-a89f-b088f7dd6ca0.jpg?v=638383807268800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189783319927862_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_<p>This book delineates the discovery of a previously unknown manuscript of a letter from Granville Sharp, the first British abolitionist, to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.
