Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed summary of the proceedings of the 1832 House of Lords Select Committee that was tasked with examining the state of slavery in British colonies and the impact of the 1807 abolition of the slave trade. The book focuses on the evidence provided by 25 peers and other witnesses, both pro- and anti-slavery, many of whom had extensive first-hand experience with West Indian colonies. The author provides an in-depth look at the arguments and counterarguments of the witnesses, highlighting the complex and often contradictory perspectives on the nature of slavery and the possibilities for its reform or abolition. Key themes explored in the evidence include the physical and psychological well-being of slaves, the economic impact of slavery, the legal rights and protections of slaves, and the feasibility of emancipation. The author's analysis of the evidence sheds light on the deep divisions within British society over the issue of slavery and the challenges faced by reformers seeking to end this inhumane practice.
