About this title

Synopsis

Insightful analysis of the slave trade debate and its historical snapshots

This edition presents a detailed analysis of the evidence gathered by the Select Committees on the Slave Trade in the late 1840s.

It surveys how political shifts and new alliances shaped views on abolition, commerce, and enforcement, and it explains the key questions those committees tried to answer.

Written by a barrister and published in 1850, the work draws on printed proceedings and witness testimony to explore the costs, harms, and policy options around the slave trade, the Middle Passage, and the fight to end it. It also weighs practical ideas for suppression, such as armed presence along the coast and regional alternatives like Liberia, alongside debates about ethics, law, and international treaties.

Clear outline of the major issues debated in Parliament about the slave trade.
Grounded discussion of the Middle Passage horrors and their interpretation in policy terms.
Evaluation of proposed strategies, from blockades and forts to legal and diplomatic measures.
Context for how abolitionist and pro-slavery voices evolved in the mid-19th century.

Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century abolition history, parliamentary history, and the complexities of enforcing humane trade policies.

"Analysis of the Evidence Given Before the Select Committees Upon the Slave Trade" offers a focused, reference-ready view of how historical debates shaped modern approaches to international human rights and maritime enforcement.
