Between 1800 and 1920, the abolition of the slave trade disguised another type of slavery. The victims were classified as “Liberated Africans,” although they were not actually freed. This website is dedicated to the memory of over 700,000 enslaved people involuntarily indentured by governments claiming to bring an end to the slave trade from Africa.
