Essay - Using Materials
I am writing about the effectiveness of boycotts and I want to talk a lot about the slave-grown sugar boycott. I'd like to explain that when the boycott started, while there were many people involved, there were still those who used the sugar. Also, the hypocritical coffee houses (where people would meet to speak out against slavery) that supplied this sugar. I'd then like to move on to the rival of the boycott with Elizabeth Heyrick and how she made it more widespread. How she encouraged people not to support vendors who sold the sugar - regardless of where their other products were from. Heyrick created a new awareness in people and helped bring about the change more quickly.
