But other seen outstanding  as smokescreen for imperialism ambition

Yet, for men who abolish slave trade  they didn’t want England to Benefit  from Such more.

 
CAPITALISM AND ANTI SLAVERY

In 1891, British advised Foreign Secretary. Huge that the slavery must be abolished in Zanzibar Protectorate. They insisted that slavery is a stain on the British. British started to abolish slavery trade from 1807 And slavery in 1834 as a triumph of the humanitarian. According to David. Brian. Neither humanitarians nor abolitionist comes in order to shape social and economic of England, and in other side was ideological consequences of the development of capitalism for company and any money. To buy freedom from their owners.

THREE DIMENSION (DECREE) OF THE CHANGES IN 1890..

1.   Decree of 1890. A means of regulating economic transaction.  property of slaves were banned and not Realized.

2.    Second degree. Twitch slaves could be coerced was undermined, Recognizing The authority of the Master within his plantation.

After the abolition of slave trade. It is where there was tremendous impact on the economic because many riches they reach depend much on their slaves. So by 1880s Liwal's were playing the same game as the Sultans, profiting from their slaves while supporting the Anglo Zanzibar attack on slave trade. These men were either pro slave trade nor anti slave trade, They were skillful, balance their source of power.

Due to the abolition of slave trade, Many officials claimed that the population of slave were declining hence affect agriculture production.

2.     Second, Workers in England were freed fro     public welfare by harsh poor law.

 

The aim of abolition of was to increase reforms movement, especially to the economic and to convert slaves to be self-disciplined workers.

Anti-slavery ideology separated slavery from its economic context. It did not question the ownership of landed properties, but they wanted to transform them to the principle of capitalist. The Zanzibar Government remain true to these goals.

In 19^th Century it is clear that, it was a time where by anti slavery ideology become increasingly conservative.

In West Indian Slaves emancipation they  believed that in order ex slave to  be respectable must have the following:

The people who had suffered under slavery had to struggle against new form of labor control.

PERSISTENCE AND EVOLUTION IN ANT SLAVERY IDEOLOGY  FORCED UNDER BRITISH FLAG.

The ideology of development viewed the poverty of African compared to the rest of the world in term of working of market principle

1.  Poor resources 
2.  Backward Technology
