Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an abstract of papers presented to Parliament in the mid-1820s that discusses colonial slavery and includes an analysis of slave laws in the Caribbean at that time. The laws of former British territories, including The Bahamas, Barbados, Bormuda, Trinidad, and the Cape of Good Hope, are outlined and critically reviewed. The abolition movement in Britain was gaining momentum during this period, and this collection of papers was inspired by reformers as they sought to understand the systems in place within these colonies. The author provides a thorough examination of the laws in each colony, commenting on the punishments for various offenses and the legal status of slaves as chattel that could be bought and sold at the discretion of the owner. The conditions of slavery in the British Caribbean in the years leading up to the abolition of slavery are laid bare, making this book an important resource for scholars of the period.
