A “history” of a slave with this first name sparked a libel case against the owner of Blackwood’s Magazine and was accompanied by Louis Asa-Asa’s account of slave ships in the triangular trade. Anti-Slavery Society secretary Thomas Pringle financed that narrative by a “West Indian slave” with this first name, who was unintentionally set free when her owners brought her to London in 1832. A woman with this name led free laborers to protest their slave-like treatment on St. Croix. The most prominent “queen” who led an anti-Danish riot nicknamed “The Fireburn” had this name and surname (*) Thomas. A Jamaican-born woman with this name treated soldiers fighting around Balaklava and Sevastopol in her “British Hotel.” For 10 points, give the first name of a self-funded Crimean War nurse with surname Seacole. ■END■
