More about the book
Focusing on the 18th-century treatment of African slaves in British sugar colonies, this work by James Ramsay provides a harrowing account of their living conditions and the cruelty they faced. It contrasts this with the efforts of Christian missionaries who sought to convert the slaves, arguing that such conversion played a significant role in improving their treatment and paving the way for their freedom. Recognized as a vital historical document in the abolitionist movement, it sheds light on the brutal realities of slavery and advocates for reform.
