Beskrivelse af Discussion On American Slavery (1836)
Discussion on American Slavery is a book written by George Thompson and first published in 1836. The book is a critical analysis of the institution of slavery in the United States during the early 19th century. Thompson was a British abolitionist who had traveled extensively in the United States and witnessed firsthand the brutal conditions under which slaves were forced to live and work.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of slavery in America. Thompson discusses the history of slavery, the economics of the slave trade, the legal and political systems that supported slavery, and the moral and ethical implications of owning human beings as property.Throughout the book, Thompson argues that slavery is a moral evil that must be abolished. He cites examples of slave rebellions and the brutal treatment of slaves as evidence that the system is inherently unjust. He also critiques the arguments made by pro-slavery advocates, such as the idea that slavery is a necessary evil or that slaves are better off under the care of their owners than they would be on their own.Discussion on American Slavery is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex and contentious issue of slavery in the United States. It provides a valuable perspective on the abolitionist movement of the 19th century and the struggle to end one of the most egregious violations of human rights in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
