Excerpt from Four Essays

Even among the many important political questions to which at this moment public attention is drawn, that of West India Slavery has not diminished in interest. The large amount 'of property at stake, the warmth unfortunately dis played throughout the discussion, the positive manner in which parties who might be supposed equally well acquainted with the truth have contradicted each other on facts, have on the contrary contributed to increase that interest in a very high degree. Whilst so many persons have already appeared in the field, the writer of this tract would not have come forward, had he not had some Opportunity of forming a judgment, and had not his experience in some degree qualified him to express a decided Opinion. That Opinion is also so clear, and his conviction so confirmed, that he deems it a duty to those with whom he differed at an earlier stage of his experience, and to the many who with him have made a sacrifice of their early prepossessions, not to withhold his present sentiments from the public.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the brutal realities of slavery and an assessment of whether any progress has been made. The author says early on, "I never gave it a thought." The author, having no prior experience with slavery, moved to a slave community and witnessed the reality of a slave's life firsthand. The author's experiences debunked widely held beliefs about slavery, and they catalog the cruelties found inherent in the system. The book discusses incidents where torture, murder, and pain were inflicted freely on those in bondage, with court cases highlighting the indifference on the part of officials. This book offers insights into the grim reality of slavery, challenging idealized notions of the practice commonly held in the early 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331387626_0
