Slavery After Abolition: Revolt on the Amelia

This looks interesting.

This is the first article I've seen on historytoday.com, and given the statistics it's likely I won't want to read another article from them until 2062. It doesn't look so interesting I want to pay $5 a month in perpetuity, or even go through the efforts of coming up with a username and password for the free trial. I don't even want to pirate it. I'd maybe pay $1 to read it, if I could do that with no strings attached.

EarlKing•4mo ago
Hell, I couldn't even get a "pirated" copy via archive.is, so instead I'll just add this to my mental filter of sites I will never, ever read under any circumstances.
throwaway290•4mo ago
> "pirated"

Why quotes?

By the way this article is not just a rehash of wikipedia like most stuff. Somebody did research. I know because I have no money to subscribe and I thought surely it's all on wikipedia. But there is literally nothing about Amelia

komali2•4mo ago
I found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_(1795_ship) which may be that ship and it's indicated it may have been a slaver and is in the ballpark of the right time period.

Ironically there was an HMS Amelia that was first used to defend slavery and then used to uphold abolishment of the slave trade https://yarmouthmuseums.wordpress.com/2021/06/15/the-hms-ame...

throwaway290•4mo ago
Yes I saw it and it's very little info
wrp•4mo ago
Could it be this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitty's_Amelia_(1803_ship)
throwaway290•4mo ago
This can be it...

>By the way this article is not just a rehash of Wikipedia like most stuff. Somebody did research.

Maybe. The seven sentences that are not paywall blocked didn't give any references and spent 1/4 of that talking about another more well-known ship.

Here is a blog post about the ship. It may or may not be better than the paywalled post.[0]

Your link seems to be about another ship.

crazygringo•4mo ago
How has this been upvoted to over 40 points when, judging by the comments, literally not a single person has been able to read this paywalled article?

I know HN is fine with paywalled articles, but usually they're from major sites that at least some people have access to, and somebody is able to post a non-paywalled link.

Viliam1234•4mo ago
Perhaps the voters really enjoyed the first two paragraphs...
mcherm•4mo ago
I was gravely disappointed to find that, contrary to what the comic suggested, it was NOT possible to read the rest of the article in Latin if you are not a subscriber.
