Synopsis
Excerpt from Review of the Slave Question, Extracted From the American Quarterly Review, Dec, 1832: Based on the Speech of the Marshall, of Fauquier; Showing That Slavery Is the Essential Hindrance to the Prosperity of the Slave-Holding States
The debate in the Legislature ofvirginia at its last sessmn 1s, beyond all question, the event which most materially affects the prospects of negro slavery in the United States. Every thing tells of a spirit that is busy inspecting the very foundations of society in Virginia - a Spirit new, suddenly created, and vaster in its grasp than any hitherto called forth in her history. There is a serious disposition: to look the evil of slavery (nothing less!) in the face, and to cast about for some method of diminishing or extirpating it. Causes not now needful to be named, have given birth to this disposition, so little to have been anticipated two years ago. The possibility of ridding Virginia of the evil of slavery in our generation, in that of our children, or ofour grand children, is suddenly made the legitimate subject of temperate debate. We shall presume to speak of it therefore in a temper of becoming gravity, and we hope without danger of giving of fence to any one.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an unvarnished examination of the intricate relationship between slavery and prosperity in the state of Virginia during the early 19th century. It explores the detrimental effects of slavery on the state's economy, arguing that the institution hindered the development of industries, discouraged immigration, and led to the exhaustion of the soil, all of which contributed to a decline in economic growth. Moreover, the book sheds light on the social and political consequences of slavery, highlighting the suppression of public spirit, the erosion of individual liberty, and the perpetuation of racial inequality. Through a thorough analysis of historical data and contemporary accounts, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex factors that shaped Virginia's struggle with slavery and its profound impact on the state's pursuit of prosperity.
