Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the legal and moral implications of slavery in England during the 18th century. The author engages in a thorough examination of English law and legal precedents to argue that slavery is not only incompatible with the spirit of English law but also a dangerous innovation. The book explores the arguments made by legal authorities who, in 1729, claimed that slaves remained property even upon arriving in England and that baptism did not grant them freedom. Through a careful analysis of various statutes, the author counters these arguments, emphasizing the fundamental rights of all individuals, regardless of their origins, to freedom and protection under the law. He also sheds light on the injustices prevalent in the British colonies, including the harsh treatment of both slaves and free people of color. The author's work aligns with a growing movement in 18th-century England that sought to challenge the institution of slavery. His book offers a compelling examination of the legal and moral arguments against slavery, highlighting the dangers of tolerating it in England. The authorââ â¢s insightful analysis underscores the inherent contradiction between the ideals of liberty and the reality of enslavement, making this book a significant contribution to the historical discourse on the abolition of slavery.
