Synopsis
This book provides first-hand accounts from the late 19th century describing the impact missionaries and travelers witnessed as European and American merchants introduced liquor and opium to native peoples around the world. The author presents a comprehensive survey of the testimonies with the goal of educating citizens in their home countries and galvanizing them to use their democratic rights to pressure governments to ban the trade of these substances in these regions. These accounts argue that these new vices were causing widespread damage to native populations, threatening their health, destroying their communities, and harming their ability to hear and accept the message of missionaries who traveled to these shores. The author argues that Christian nations had a responsibility under God to protect these native peoples and to spread their message of salvation, and that these destructive vices were a barrier to both.
