1816 (List of Illustrious British Patrons): The Haytian Papers concludes with an extensive list of distinguished British figures who supported the cause of abolition and, by extension, the recognition of Haytian humanity. Notable names include Thomas Clarkson, William Wilberforce, Henry Brougham, Zachary Macaulay, and Sir James Mackintosh. This list serves as a “Who’s Who” of the British abolitionist movement, signaling to the reader that the Haytian monarchy was in direct correspondence with the most influential philanthropists and parliamentarians of the era. This was a strategic effort by Prince Sanders to embed Hayti’s cause within the heart of British political and moral life.
