Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book records the events of 1848 in England, which included the beginning of reform after the Christmas Recess in February, with the West Indian Question as its first topic of discussion. Upon a Select Committee of Inquiry being convened, a state of extreme financial peril was revealed for West Indian planters and merchants, who argued their distress was brought about by legislative changes that opened trade with the East Indies and other territories. They claimed that the changes would destroy their businesses, and the ensuing debates included widespread criticism of the very foundations of British colonialism. The author delves into the historical context of the events, tracing the changing British position on issues of slavery and the subsequent change in strategy for the West Indian sugar industry. The book presents a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the economic and political factors at play, and concludes by noting the significance of the events of 1848 for their profound impact on the relationship between Britain and its West Indian colonies.
