Historical evidence links Sandbach, Tinne and Company to post-abolition slave trafficking in Guyana

Newly surfaced 1847 correspondence indicates that the British firm Sandbach, Tinne and Company continued to facilitate the trafficking of enslaved Africans to Guyana four decades after the 1807 abolition of the slave trade. This revelation highlights the discrepancy between state-funded compensation provided to plantation owners and the lack of restitution for the enslaved, potentially fueling ongoing debates regarding historical reparations.
