See her Biography below


The Caribbean achieved emancipation before the United States did 

The 19th century saw the gradual evolution of emancipation sweep across the islands of the Caribbean well before the United States. 

Britain was one of the catalysts in this process by first abolishing the slave trade in 1808, followed by apprenticeship and finally, emancipation in 1838.

Slaves in the United States were emancipated in 1865.
