Synopsis
The Colonial Controversy: Containing A Refutation Of The Calumnies Of The Anticolonists, The State Of Hayti, Sierra Leone, India, China, Cochin China, Java, &C., &C., The Production Of Sugar, &C., And The State Of The Free And Slave Labourers In Those Countries, Fully Considered In A Series Of is a historical-polemic collection of letters by James Macqueen published in 1824–25 addressing debates over abolition, colonial governance, and the supposed superiority of free labour. Drawing on official documents, parliamentary papers, and contemporary press, Macqueen argues against anti-colonial arguments, defends the British colonial system, and critiques emancipation policies as impractical or dangerous. The work surveys Hayti, Sierra Leone, India, China, Cochin China, Java, and related topics on sugar production and labour, presenting detailed rebuttals of abolitionist claims and assertions about slavery, free labour, and colonial administration. Through numbered letters addressed to Lord Liverpool, the author attacks anonymous anti-colonial writers, defends planters, and offers a wide-ranging economic and moral critique of emancipationist proposals. The text combines political economy with historical narrative to argue that emancipation and free labour reforms would destabilize empire and harm metropolitan and colonial interests.
