Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a gripping narrative, is the second installment of abolitionist George Thompson's powerful eyewitness accounts of the horrors he encountered while on lecture tour exposing the evils of slavery in the British West Indies. Beginning with an analysis of the 'proofs' put forth by defenders of the institution, Thompson methodically refutes each point, exposing slavery as a barbaric system based on cruelty, greed, and the unjustifiable denial of the most fundamental human rights. The author crafts a well-reasoned, deeply researched, and ultimately persuasive argument for the immediate abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of all those held in bondage. Drawing from parliamentary reports and the testimony of planters themselves, the author reveals a litany of unspeakable abuses, including the brutalization of slaves, wanton violence, and the systematic destruction of families. In impassioned language, the author appeals to the humanity of his audience, arguing that immediate action is needed to end this egregious evil and restore justice and freedom to the oppressed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
