The following remarks are not published with a view to excite odium against any individuals, or bodies of men, but to elucidate truth, and to illustrate this general position, that the habitual exercise of that arbitrary dominion which the master possesses over the slave, communicates an involuntary bias, even to well disposed minds, against the just claims of humanity, and that it is difficult, if not impossible, to interpose effectual laws restraining such dominion. Notwithstanding the favourable light in which the farmers of the Reports with the state of the laws in Jamaica previous to the Act of 1788 to be considered, it is evident from the Report themselves, that a very imperfect and limited protection was secured to the slave. If the slave were killed it was indeed declared to be felony by a law passed so lately as 1787, but, the benefit of clergy not being barred, the punishment, of course, was flight, or more properly none at all.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers insight into the historical conditions of slavery in Jamaica during the 18th century through the analysis of documentation from a parliamentary committee investigating allegations of cruelty against enslaved laborers. The author focuses on the legal framework, protection, and daily treatment of enslaved individuals, as well as the Jamaican planters' motivations for wanting to maintain the status quo. The author argues that the planters' goal was to minimize scrutiny from the British and to continue their profitable slave trade by arguing that slavery was a necessary evil and that enslaved Africans were better off in the Caribbean than in their homelands. The book unveils the harsh realities, violence, and legal loopholes that sustained the inhumane system of slavery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332246472_0
