Synopsis
Considerations On The Negroe Cause Commonly So Called is a book written by Samuel Estwick in 1773. The book is a critical analysis of the slave trade and the treatment of African slaves in the British colonies. Estwick, a plantation owner himself, argues that the slave trade is not only morally wrong but also economically impractical.Estwick begins by discussing the origins of the slave trade and how it has become a profitable business for European countries. He then goes on to describe the harsh conditions that African slaves are subjected to during their journey to the colonies and how they are treated once they arrive. He argues that the slaves are not only mistreated but also denied basic human rights, such as the right to education and freedom of movement.Estwick also addresses the arguments made by those who support the slave trade, such as the idea that slavery is necessary for the economy to thrive. He counters these arguments by providing evidence that slavery is actually detrimental to the economy and that free labor would be more beneficial.Overall, Considerations On The Negroe Cause Commonly So Called is a powerful critique of the slave trade and the treatment of African slaves in the British colonies. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the attitudes and debates surrounding slavery during the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
