It could be said that Douglass’ influence on Scotland was equally dramatic. He spearheaded the ‘Send Back the Money’ campaign - what we’d now call a boycott movement aimed at cutting respectable ties with the American South. The idea was to shame the Free Church of Scotland into giving back Southern donations that came from the blood of slaves. Douglass lectured across Scotland - putting fire in the belly of the Scottish anti-slavery movement at a time when the cause was wilting elsewhere in Britain. Andrea Baker investigates if the money was ever sent back. — Douglass in Scotland
