Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the economic history of the British West Indies before the abolition of slavery. It claims that planters' outcry about impending ruin was nothing new, and was more concerned with their own wealth than the well-being of their slaves. The book demonstrates, through parliamentary reports and testimony, that the plantation system was inefficient and decaying, even before slavery was abolished. The author argues that the planters themselves were largely responsible for this decline through their reliance on slavery and their resistance to modernization. Despite the planters' predictions of economic collapse, the West Indies experienced a period of prosperity after emancipation, with formerly enslaved people working as free laborers and society undergoing significant improvements. The book provides a valuable historical analysis, revealing the complexities and contradictions of the plantation system in the British West Indies, offering insights into the challenges and triumphs of the people living under its oppressive regime. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
