African American ABOLITIONIST Blake Africa RARE
W. O. Blake's 'The History of
Slavery and the Slave Trade' is a comprehensive compilation detailing
slavery's historical reach, from ancient societies like Greece and Rome to
modern eras. It uncovers overlooked hereditary slavery in England, examines
slavery's impact on empire decline, delves into its role in U.S. politics and
law, and challenges prevailing views on ancient slavery's forms and effects.
The book also exposes the brutalities of the 19th-century slave trade and
argues against slavery's ethical and legal grounds, emphasizing its
contradiction with human rights and morality. The book focuses a

the annexation of Texas and the Missouri Compromise.
