Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book defends the views of West Indian planters after Parliament passed resolutions targeting the treatment of slaves in the region in 1823. The resolutions were passed due to a concerted abolitionist effort in England to highlight the brutal conditions endured by those enslaved in the West Indies. However, the author suggests the planters in the region were committed to improving conditions without abolishing slavery entirely. Indeed, many had already instituted meaningful improvements on their own private estates. The author accuses those in England of hypocrisy, profiting from the slave trade while condemning the planters. They also point out that the reforms suggested by Parliament were impractical and would only have worsened the situation for the enslaved people. The author concludes that had the British government supported the gradualist approach of the planters, slavery could have been abolished without resorting to violent revolution.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical examination of the early 1800s anti-slavery movement in the United Kingdom. The author extensively covers the controversy over the ethics and legality of slavery, particularly in the British West Indies. The author also explores the debates over the role of the British government in regulating colonial affairs and the push to abolish slavery within the colonies. The book argues that the movement was driven not by morality but by economic and political interests, primarily the abolition of the slave trade, which the author argues was part of a larger push for free markets and ultimately led to the consolidation of British imperial power. This book adds depth to debates over the role of slavery in modern capitalism and provides a nuanced perspective on abolitionist movements. The author examines the complex interplay of economics, politics, and morality that has shaped the history of slavery and its abolition, offering valuable insights for understanding contemporary debates over racial and economic justice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the contentious issue of slavery in the British West Indies during a time of great social and political upheaval. The author delves into the complexities of the slave trade and the legal frameworks that governed it, examining arguments for and against the abolition of slavery. A central focus is the question of whether the West Indies are truly a valuable asset to Great Britain, with the author arguing forcefully that the colonies contribute significantly to the nation's economic and political strength. The book's depth lies in its examination of the intricate relationship between the British government, the colonists, and the enslaved African population. The author confronts head-on the popular notion that the West Indies enjoy a monopoly on the sugar market, ultimately dismantling this misconception through a careful analysis of the global sugar trade. The author also contends that the abolition of slavery would have detrimental consequences for the British economy, ultimately benefiting neither the British public nor the enslaved population. This book offers a compelling and insightful examination of a pivotal historical period, providing a unique perspective on the multifaceted debates surrounding slavery in the British Empire.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the divide between economic theory and economic reality as it pertains to free trade and its effects. Through historical and present day examples, the author challenges the deep-rooted belief that free trade policies, when applied universally, have a positive overall impact on a nation's economy. Instead, the author argues that trade policies must be specifically tailored to each nation given its unique social, political, and economic circumstances. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and policy makers who seek to fully understand this complex matter.
