Chairman of the Nelson Society says the note was the work of opponents to the abolition to boost their cause
A letter which is said to show Lord Nelson was a racist supporter of slavery is forged, according to the author of a new book.
Chris Brett, the chairman of the Nelson Society, contends the letter was the work of opponents of the abolition of the slave trade who wanted to use the reputation of the hero of Trafalgar after his death to boost their cause.
