Slavery and the Internal Slave Trade in the United States of North America - 1841

Slavery and the Internal Slave Trade in the United States of North America – 1841

A fascinating and historically significant 1841 anti-slavery publication, produced during one of the most important periods of the nineteenth-century abolitionist movement.

The volume contains replies prepared by the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society to questions submitted by the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society and was presented to the General Anti-Slavery Convention held in London in June 1840.

Published in London by Thomas Ward and Co. in 1841, it offers a contemporary account of slavery and the internal slave trade in the United States, making it a compelling primary-source document from the international campaign for abolition.

An evocative piece of social and political history, particularly suited to collectors of Americana, abolitionist literature, slavery-related material and nineteenth-century historical works.
