Historical debates before the Privy Council on slavery and emancipation in Demerara and Berbice
A record of proceedings from July 1827, detailing arguments for and against Compulsory Manumission in the colonies. It presents the concerns of plantation owners, mortgagees, and local authorities as they confront how to balance liberty, property, and imperial policy.
The text traces how British officials and colonial agents discussed the Trinidad order, compensation for enslaved people and their masters, and the pace of reform. It includes the voices of planters seeking measured change and Parliament’s role in shaping a humane yet cautious path toward emancipation.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
