Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the 1772 landmark case of James Somersett, a slave brought to England from the American colonies who successfully sued for his freedom. The author delves into the legal arguments presented during the trial, exploring the complex legal, moral, and social issues surrounding slavery in 18th century England. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal precedents and philosophical ideas that shaped the court's decision, which ultimately declared that slavery was incompatible with the principles of English law and thus illegal. This landmark ruling had a profound impact on the development of human rights in England and beyond, contributing to the gradual abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire.
