About this Event

Glasgow may have played a leading role in support for the anti-slavery movement, but the outbtreak of war in the United States in 1861 provided a business opportunity few Clyde shipbuilders could resist.

Dominic d'Angelo, Chair of The Alexander Thomson Society, looks at the support given to the slaveholders' cause.
