Freemasonry, Empire, slave-trade, slavery, abolition, plantation societiesAbstract
Several studies have explored the relationship between freemasonry and the British Empire, but few have focused specifically on the connection between freemasonry and questions of slavery and abolition in an imperial context. Did freemasonry condone or combat slavery? Simplifications and sweeping generalizations should be avoided as all statements concerning such a sensitive issue need to be qualified.
