About this title

Synopsis

The book titled ""The Congo State Is Not A Slave State: A Reply To Mr. E. D. Morel�������s Pamphlet Entitled The Congo Slave State"" was written by Demetrius Charles Boulger and published in 1903. The book is a response to a pamphlet written by E. D. Morel, which accused the Congo Free State (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) of being a slave state.Boulger's book argues that Morel's claims are unfounded and that the Congo Free State is not a slave state. He provides evidence to support his argument, including statistics on the number of slaves in the Congo and the conditions of the workers. Boulger also discusses the economic and political situation in the Congo and the role of the Belgian government in the region.The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the controversy surrounding the Congo Free State in the early 20th century. It provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of Europeans towards Africa and its people during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
