Thoughts on Slavery and Cheap Sugar: A Letter to the Members and Friends of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society
History - British, History - Modern (1750+), Politics
Written in the mid-19th century, 'Thoughts on Slavery and Cheap Sugar' is a political pamphlet by J. Ewing Ritchie addressing the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. Ritchie critiques the moral and economic implications of the sugar trade, arguing that the British marketplace's support for slave-grown sugar perpetuates slavery and harms the working class. He advocates for free trade and reduced import duties on sugar as a means to undermine slave labor, emphasizing the need for economically sound practices that genuinely support emancipation.
