  4. Creating your own Clarkson Chest Task 2 Clarkson was a key campaigner for the abolition of the slave trade and gathered evidence and witnesses for the cause, particularly from sailors who worked on the slave ships. Clarkson had a chest containing African products, as well as restraints and punishment implements illustrating the great cruelty and loss of life resulting from the slave trade. He tried to show that African foodstuffs, dye plants and manufactured items such as fine textiles and intricately crafted weapons, could replace the trade in slaves, to the benefit of both African and European traders.
