Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed summary of all the laws passed by the US Federal government which were active as of 1820 and aimed at abolishing the slave trade, then a common and widely accepted commercial practice. It examines the progressive criminalization of the slave trade by the US government, beginning with its prohibition of US citizens carrying slaves to foreign countries in 1794. By 1820, the US had declared the slave trade a capital offense punishable by death. The author shows that the US was among the first nations in the world to take steps to eliminate the trade, and that its efforts contributed to the eventual abolition of slavery. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery in the United States and the development of international law.
