Abolition of slavery/Kartini

Every time I read about the british in North America I think of The Patriot. I remember that last scene were the british were defeated. All throughout the movie there was always the slavery issue. In the reading the abolition of slavery played a big part from 1780-1890. Slavery started to become a violation of natural rights to enlightenment thinkers and after the american and french revolutions the slavery issue began to diminish. It was very interesting to read that in 1807, Britain prohibited the sale of slaves within the nation and in 1834 emancipated those who remained enslaved. It was also very interesting reading about the Javanese woman by the the name of Kartini. It was so impressive all the things she picked up on and learned. I thinks its very noble that her dream was to contribute to the learning of emancipation of the Netherlands, and open up an all girls school in Java. She also was the first Javanese woman to pick her own husband and marry him, not have her parents pick. This reading was very interesting and I believe that the abolition of slavery made a huge impact on the world as we know it today.
