I did not know that about Portugal. I think I mentioned this in a comment once before, but I really like the way you do every post on your site is in both English and Portuguese. Your post today is wonderful. I have always been attracted to strong women and the world is certainly a better place because of them. I overlooked one in the above review... Romola Garai portrays Barbara Spooner in the movie. If the portrayal is accurate, Spooner, who married William Wilberforce, was the main reason he never gave up the good fight! -Will Hi Max, and thanks! I did not know that about Portugal.

Amazing! Now I must watch the movie (I had heard it before and was curious about it, but now I must watch it)! This is a topic that I absolutely love; I am telling you, if I lived in that time I would most definitely be an abolishionist. Those dialogues are politics at its best! Did you know that Portugal was the first country to abolish slavery? Yes, it did it because there were mulattos lighter than most whites, so Portugal decided that it wasn't fair that lighter people would be slaves (this is a terrible reason to end slavery, but it is the history of this country *shrugging*). Great post! Cheers Hey Will,
