This action, he argues, was detrimental to Britain's economic interests at a time when British slavery was actually at the height of its potential. 588 0 Online resource (HeinOnline, viewed September 12, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Antislavery movements|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85123322|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Slavery|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123314|zWest Indies, British|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85146203-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Slave trade|zGreat Britain|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010113222 650 0 Slave trade|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123311|zWest Indies, British|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85146203-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Antislavery movements.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /810800 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Slavery.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1120426 650 7 Slave trade.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1120405 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books|xHistory. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDrescher, Seymour.|tEconocide.|b2nd ed. |dChapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, ©2010 |z0807871796|w(OCoLC)607975595 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=343669|zOnline eBook.
