The West India Legislatives Vindicated From The Charge Of Having Resisted The Call Of The Mother Country For The Amelioration Of Slavery (1826) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165657759)

The book ""The West India Legislatives Vindicated From The Charge Of Having Resisted The Call Of The Mother Country For The Amelioration Of Slavery"" was written by Alexander McDonnell in 1826. The book defends the West India Legislatures against accusations of resisting the efforts of the British government to improve the conditions of slavery in the colonies. McDonnell argues that the West India Legislatures were not opposed to amelioration, but rather had their own plans for gradual emancipation and improvement of slave conditions. The book provides a detailed analysis of the history of slavery in the West Indies, the economic and social factors that influenced the system, and the efforts of the British government to reform it. McDonnell also offers a critique of the abolitionist movement and argues that immediate emancipation would not be feasible or beneficial for the slaves or the slave owners. This book is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex debates and controversies surrounding slavery and its abolition in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
