Anti-slavery
Belfast’s drive toward emancipation, equality of rights for “Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter” began in the latter half of the 18th Century with the United Irishmen. The story continues with the philanthropy of women such as Martha McTier and Mary Ann McCracken. The abolition of slavery was one of the movement’s fundemental aims. The speeches of Fredrick Douglass in Belfast in 1849 would have encouraged Mary Ann McCracken’s zeal..
