in
other
parts
of
the
world
learnt

Middle
Passage
"
across
the
Atlantic
.
They
heard
too
of
the
cruelty
that
many
slaves
suffered
on
the

Some
people
in
tried
to
stop
the
slave
trade
.
They
also
called
for
,
which
means
freedom
for
slaves
.
In
,
the
trade
in
African
salves
across
the
Atlantic
was
forbidden
.
But
slaves
in
The
Bahamas
were
not
yet

.
Even
after
the
English
stopped
their

human
beings
.
On
1
August
a
new
law

called
the
Emancipation
,
came
into
effect
.
From
that
day
,
every
slave
in
The
Bahamas
was
free
.
Those
in
the
United
States
were
not
free
until
.
