Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Cruel Nature and Injurious Effects of the Foreign Slave Trade: Represented in a Letter, Addressed to the Right Hon. Lord Brougham and Vaux My Lord, This letter will place before you a description of the present state of the foreign slave trade, and of slavery itself as existing in Brazil and the Southern States of North America. The annihilation of this curse in every part of the world is an object which has long been deeply engraven on your heart. It is inseparable from your best feelings, and its discussion has distinguished your talents and your benevolence in and out of the Senate, both as a Statesman and a Philanthropist. Providence has conferred on you the imperishable honour of having taken the lead in the completion of the good work of negro emancipation in the British Colonies, which the estimable Wilberforce had commenced, and for the accomplishment of which he laboured many years with unabated ardour and indefatigable toil. This is my apology, my Lord, for presuming to address this letter to you. When the African slave trade was made illegal by the British Legislature, it was stated by Mr. Dundas, in the House of Commons, "that but little was done by the passing of that bill, and freedom was but very partially conferred on the negroes, unless other nations would relinquish the inhuman traffic, and slavery itself be annihilated in our own colonial possessions." The people of England have recently expressed a similar opinion, and by the most persevering efforts have emancipated the British Colonies, in a manner equally distinguished by its justice to the planter, and its compassion to the slave.
