1840 1ed SLAVERY in CUBA Travels Abolitionist Turnbull Tobacco Sugar Coffee MAP David Turnbull was a 19th-century abolitionist who is best-remembered for his anti-slavery voyage to Cuba in 1838. While in Cuba, where slavery was still legal, Turnbull was blamed for creating unrest and slave revolts which resulted in his being expelled from Cuba. His experiences spurred him to write his book Travels in the West in which he denounces slavery in Cuba and discussed the controversies he created in the Caribbean slave movement. Turnbull also describes tobacco, coffee, and sugar plantations and the reliance on slave labor in the commerce and trade markets. Item number: #18253 Price: $599 TURNBULL, David Travel in the West.
