Thousands of children from across England, Scotland, and Ireland
were taken from their homes and shipped to North America against their will,
transported by wealthy merchants and political leaders
who profited from their labor.
Families like the Trents participated in these illegal trade networks,
using child labor to fuel their economic success and influence.
This presentation by Angela Austin describes how child labor
factored into British imperial expansion and
how the Trent family’s involvement
in these activities shaped their legacy.
