Two or three stores were opened for the sale of cotton and cotton goods, sugar, molasses, and other articles, the cultivation and manufacture of which were free from any taint of slave labor, and they received a moderate patronage and support; but the movement never assumed such proportions as in England, where, it was computed by Clarkson, no less than Hist. of the Slave Trade, p. 496. three hundred thousand persons voluntarily abandoned the use of sugar during the struggle for the abolition of the slave trade.
