![]() Since she had not asked permission to marry, she was severely beaten as punishment. There she met and married Daniel James, a former slave who had bought his freedom. In 1815 she was taken to Antigua by her then-owner, John Wood. For the next 15 years Mary was bought and sold between brutal owners who abused her physically and sexually. Her mother was a household slave and when the family who owned them lost money, her mother had no choice but sell Mary at the market-place. Mary Prince was born into a slave family in Bermuda, around 1788. Anti-slavery campaigns were influential in bringing about this change and the publication, in 1831, of the autobiography of Mary Prince, a female slave from the British West Indies, had a profound impact on these campaigns. By the 1830s, however, the slave trade had been abolished and legislation to free all slaves in British dependencies followed soon after in 1833.
