Anti-Slavery Society Convention, 1840
Benjamin Haydon's painting of Thomas Clarkson addressing the 1840 Anti-Slavery Convention, held by the Anti-Slavery Society at Exeter Hall in London. The organisation was the second to bear that name and was dedicated to the abolishment of slavery worldwide. It continues to function today as Anti-Slavery International.Painting by Benjamin Haydon

Name confusion

[edit]

I've suggested moving this page, after doing a cleanup to focus this page on the earlier society. Before my cleanup, there was overlap and confusion between the two societies. I did initially wonder if they could both be covered in the same article, but the one started in 1939 appears to be a separate entity, and the current body, Anti-Slavery International, gives its foundation date as 1939. (Both articles need more work and citations, but I wanted to get the history and naming accurate as it was affecting work I have been doing on other articles.) I'll add a bit more when I have time.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Anti-Slavery Society (1823–1838) (non-admin closure) BegbertBiggs (talk) 20:05, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]



Anti-Slavery SocietySociety for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions – Confusion between two organisations commonly referred to as the Anti-Slavery Society, with many articles linking to this article when they should be linking to the later society (post-1839 - now Anti-Slavery International). The links in the other articles would have to checked and manually re-linked to the correct organisation after the move, and the Anti-Slavery Society could be a DAB page.) If the suggested new name is too long, it could be London Anti-Slavery Society, which was actually its name during its last year of existence.

Hmmm, yes I see your point. But maybe Anti-Slavery Society (1823–1838), to make it clearer? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:04, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that would work too. Vpab15 (talk) 11:00, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I do agree that the long name is a bit long. (Hence putting it out for discussion rather than just moving the page myself.) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:04, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I would suggest adding the dates since (a) it would make clear which anti-slavery society and (b) tell people the date range (it can get confusing which anti-slavery society when). I guess we should check the timeline and also whether "Anti-Slavery Society" was the commonly used name.
  1. Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade (1787-1823?) replaced by
  2. Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions (1823-1838) (this article) wound down and a new org created
  3. British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society (1838-1909) (it and the rest are in one article) which merged with another organization to become
  4. Anti-Slavery and Aborigines' Protection Society (1909-1947) name changed to
  5. Anti-Slavery Society (1947-1956) name changed to
  6. Anti-Slavery Society for the Protection of Human Rights (1956-1990) name changed to
  7. Anti-Slavery International for the Protection of Human Rights (1990-1995) name changed to
  8. Anti-Slavery International (1995-present)

I also did a search of "anti-slavery society" and of the full name in Hansard for the years in question. Nothing turned up for the latter but quite a number for the former (though some but not all referred to city or county anti-slavery groups). I would say the common name was extremely common. --Erp (talk) 05:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Slavery Society (1823–1838) works for me too. Vpab15 (talk) 14:08, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
