What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome back to Behind the Bastards, a podcast where every year I buy Sophie a weapon.
It's true.
It's also about bad people, except for this episode. Well, this week we're doing a reverse episode about some heroes, the people who ended the British slave trade and eventually the whole Atlantic slave trade. And, you know... They're good people. We haven't talked about them yet. We've only talked about bad people so far. Episode one was really a lot of bad stuff in one. And I do apologize for that on the Christmas week. Our guest today is big ship guy, James Stout. Big boat man, James Stout. Captain James Stout. Captain James Stout. Sir Captain James Stout.
Who are the heroes discussed in this episode?
Not one of those things. Again, never been near a king. But yeah, I do like to go on a boat. I get very unwell, but I don't let that stop me. No, no, no. I'm afflicted with seasickness. If I've learned one thing about the history of sailing, no one has ever let being sick stop them from getting on a boat. You can't. You can't. You gotta power through it.

Speaking of powering through it, you know, we just got the horrible case of the Zorg and the mass murder that happened on board it. And then a lawsuit by the Gregson syndicate saying we should get money for those people we murdered, which a British court ruled. Yeah, you should. So that's where things ended in part one. In part two, some people are going to get mad about this. Now, there was no coverage of Gregson v. Gilbert at the time of the court case. It was legally a minor civil trial over an insurance dispute, and there was really no reason to believe that anyone aside from the parties involved were paying attention to what happened in court or cared about what had happened aboard the Zorg.
But one anonymous person watched the proceedings that day, March 6th of 1783, and they were horrified by what they saw, right? There's some theorizing in the book, the Zorg, about who this person might have been, but we don't really know. It was just someone was there that day who had a conscience and who viewed Africans as human beings, right?
