About This Book

The author surveys slavery's wide geographic presence and variety of forms, then analyzes economic and social mechanisms that create, sustain, and reverse systems of bondage. The text compares conditions and emancipation efforts across colonies, the United States, Europe, and other regions, and outlines how labor, wealth, and freedom interact to move populations toward or away from dependence. It concludes by proposing practical remedies and civic duties intended to extinguish both domestic and foreign slave practices.
