References are made to George Washington, John Adams, the Jay Treaty, and Congress. Priestley also mentions the Alien and Sedition Laws, which he feared might apply to him.

British and American abolitionists cooperated to convince the British and the American public of the sinfulness of slavery. Selections relating to America are from the minutebooks, memorials, petitions, and correspondence of the society. The Rhodes House Library houses the largest anti-slavery collection in Great Britain.

Paul Robeson was a black scholar-athlete who graduated from Rutgers University in 1919. He was a two-time football All-American and a member of the academic honor society, Phi Beta Kappa. He later earned a degree from Columbia University School of Law. However, his talents as an actor and singer brought him international acclaim. Although a successful theatrical artist, Robeson became actively involved in national and international political issues. He supported movements concerning peace in the world, better labor conditions, racial equality and independence for African colonies. Some of the organizations with which he was affiliated were suspected of being Communist fronts. His friendship with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and with known Communists drew the attention of the United States government, and Robeson became the subject of an FBI investigation. The government concluded that his travels and speeches abroad were not in the best interest of the United States, and in 1950, Robeson's passport was canceled. Eight years later, he regained his passport after a legal battle. He moved to London to resume his theatrical career. Robeson returned to the United States in 1963 because of ill health.

TUDWAY OF WELLS ANTIGUAN ESTATE PAPERS, 1689-1907.
East Ardsley, Yorkshire, England: Microform Academic Publishers, 1999.
British records relating to America in microfilm
30 reel(s)
The records included in this collection cover over three centuries of the operation of an Antiguan sugar plantation, providing the most complete surviving private records pertaining to these plantations. The plantation, called Parham and located on the eastern part of the island of Antigua in what was the British Caribbean, was owned by the Tudway family of Wells Somerset and was in operation by 1689, contributing to the sugar boom experienced by the island in the 1680s. The Tudway family, a prosperous middle-class family, acted as absentee owners who rarely visited the plantation; thus, they did not witness the slave-labor source of their wealth. Records in these papers cover the years 1689 to 1920 and consist of a virtually complete set of annual accounts during those years, correspondence dating from 1717 to 1898 written from both Britain and Antigua, paylists, slave registers, and records of sugar cane experiments from 1905 to 1907. The records provide full details on all operating aspects of a sugar plantation as well as attitudes on absentee landlords and legislation affecting the sugar business and are valuable for reconstructing the social and economic history of the British Caribbean.

These papers provide a remarkably full account of the eighteenth-century British slave trade. Born in London in 1725, William Davenport was apprenticed to a Liverpool merchant and later set up his own overseas trading company there. His business involved commerce in the Mediterranean area, especially trade in beads in Venice, and to Virginia, Grenada, and Dominica, as well as Cameroon, the Bight of Biafra in the Niger Delta, and Calaba in Africa. An important figure in the British slave trade, Davenport died in 1797.
Included in the collection are trading invoices and accounts of ships owned by Davenport and his associate William Whaley from 1761 to 1784. Also contained in the collection are letter and bill books, waste books, ledgers, and other account books. The more detailed of the accounts include data on voyage costs, supplies of trade goods, demographics, markets, and proceeds. From these records, the financial history of well over half of Davenport's slaving voyages may be reconstructed. The collection offers insights into the impact of geographical change in the pattern of slaving in Africa on profits in the British slave trade.
