Synopsis

This scholarly book examines the abolition of the American slave trade and slavery system in the early 19th century. The author reviews the political climate of the time, including the motivations of slaveholders and land speculators as well as the reactions of Mexican and American officials. By providing a detailed analysis of laws passed during the period, including those of the Mexican government, the book highlights the hypocrisy and treachery of those who sought to continue and expand slavery despite its illegality. The book presents an impactful study of the steadfast Mexican opposition to slavery and the motivations of those who sought to undermine it.
