Joseph Sturge (1793-1859) was an English Quaker who was influential in campaigning for the abolition of slavery in the British empire and founded the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in 1839. Having visited the West Indies in 1834, he travelled to the United States in 1841 to examine the slavery question there firsthand, and to lend his support to the American abolition movement by sharing his experiences of how success was achieved elsewhere. His account of his visit, and of the feelings and opinions of the American campaigners he met, is the subject of this 1842 book, which he hoped would encourage activists around the world and promote understanding among them. - Häftad, Engelska, 2010

Joseph Sturge (1793-1859) and his co-author, Thomas Harvey (1812-1884), were Quaker philanthropists concerned with the treatment of former slaves. Both men had reservations about the 'apprenticeship' system introduced by the 1833 Slavery Abolition Act, and between 1836 and 1837 they visited the West Indies to assess the usefulness of the system in action. Their book was first published in 1838, and a second, revised edition (reissued here) came out in the same year. It contains Sturge and Harvey's observations on the failures of apprenticeship. Organised by island and presented in the form of a diary, this detailed account of the lives and living conditions of former slaves illustrates the inherent flaws in the apprenticeship system. This volume proved very influential in the campaign to abolish the system, and provides valuable first-hand information on the contemporary social conditions in the West Indies, and attitudes to former slaves. - Häftad, Engelska

A visit to the United States in 1841 presents a detailed account of travel, observation, and social inquiry during a period of intense national debate over slavery and human rights. The narrative follows the author's journey across various states, exploring political, social, and economic structures while emphasizing the moral and ethical implications of slavery. Firsthand encounters with communities, institutions, and individuals reveal the complexities of abolitionist sentiment, public opinion, and local practice. The work highlights contrasts between law, custom, and conscience, illustrating the challenges faced by reformers and the perseverance required to advocate for change. Personal reflection and critical observation combine to provide insight into both the potential and the limitations of social reform in a divided society. Themes of justice, equality, and moral responsibility permeate the account, emphasizing the connection between individual action and broader societal transformation. Through careful reporting and ethical engagement, the work captures the tensions, contradictions, and aspirations of a nation confronting its foundational moral questions.
