Sweet Water And Bitter
When the abolitionist Granville Sharpe bought land in Sierra Leone to 'repatriate' freed slaves, one former slave living in London foresaw trouble. 'Is it possible', asked Ottobah Cugoano, biblically, 'that a fountain should send forth sweet water and bitter?' Could the slave trade be abolished from West Africa when West Africa was its source?
