Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book advocates for the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire. It opens by presenting resolutions passed at the Society for Mitigating and gradually Abolishing the State of Slavery's first gathering in 1823. These resolutions establish that slavery violates the principles of Christianity and the dictates of humanity and justice. The author goes on to chronicle the efforts of the Society to bring about the end of slavery. These efforts included organizing petitions to Parliament, pursuing legal reforms, educating the public about the evils of slavery, and opposing West Indian interests in the House of Commons. The book concludes by summarizing the progress that had been made towards the abolition of slavery up to 1823. It highlights the importance of public discussion and parliamentary interference in the fight against slavery. The book provides a valuable historical account of the efforts to abolish slavery in the British Empire. It also sheds light on the complex social and political issues surrounding slavery in the early 19th century.
