Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a speech given on August 3, 1857, in Canandaigua, New York. The majority of the speech was a history of British emancipation efforts. Douglass also urged American leaders to follow the British example in this speech. He also credited the West Indian blacks with bringing about their emancipation through violent resistance. He encourages other blacks in the United States to continue to exert similar pressure. However, shortly after he began, Douglass uttered two paragraphs that became the most quoted sentences of all of his public orations, foreshadowing the coming Civil War. He started by saying, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Emancipation in the West Indies: A Six Months' Tour in Antigua, Barbadoes, and Jamaica, in the Year 1837 IT is hardly possible that the success of British West India Emancipation should be more conclusively proved, than it has been by the absence among us of the exultation which awaited its failure. So many thousands of the citizens of the United States, without counting slaveholders, would not have suffered their prophesyings to be falsified, if they could have found whereof to manufacture fulfilment. But it is remarkable that, even since the first of August, 1834, the evils of West India emancipation on the lips of the advocates of slavery, or, as the most of them nicely prefer to be termed, the opponents of abolition, have remained in the future tense. The bad reports of the newspapers, spiritless as they have been compared with the predictions, have been traceable, on the slightest inspection, not to emancipation, but to the illegal continuance of slavery, under the cover of its legal substitute. Not the slightest reference to the rash act, whereby the thirty thousand slaves of Antigua were immediately turned loose, now mingles with the croaking which strives to defend our republican slavery against argu ment and common sense.

Download or read book The Economic Aspect of the Abolition of the West Indian Slave Trade and Slavery written by Eric Williams and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his influential and widely debated Capitalism and Slavery, Eric Williams examined the relation of capitalism and slavery in the British West Indies. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, his study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that has set the tone for an entire field. Williams’s profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development and has been widely debated since the book’s initial publication in 1944. The Economic Aspect of the Abolition of the West Indian Slave Trade and Slavery now makes available in book form for the first time his dissertation, on which Capitalism and Slavery was based. The significant differences between his two works allow us to rethink questions that were considered resolved and to develop fresh problems and hypotheses. It offers the possibility of a much deeper reconsideration of issues that have lost none of their urgency—indeed, whose importance has increased.
