Publisher's Synopsis
""Notes On The Two Reports From The Committee Of The Honorable House Of Assembly Of Jamaica (1789)"" by Jamaica Planter is a historical document that provides insight into the political and social climate of Jamaica during the late 18th century. The book is a detailed analysis of two reports presented by the Committee of the Honorable House of Assembly of Jamaica, which were aimed at addressing the issues of slavery and the slave trade in the British colony.The author, a Jamaica Planter, provides a critical examination of the reports and offers his own opinions on the matter. He argues that slavery is necessary for the economic prosperity of Jamaica and that the abolition of the slave trade would harm the island's economy. The author also defends the treatment of slaves, claiming that they are well-cared for and that their living conditions are better than those of the poor in England.However, the author's arguments are challenged by the reports themselves, which reveal the brutal and inhumane treatment of slaves in Jamaica. The reports provide evidence of widespread abuse, including physical violence, sexual assault, and forced labor. The reports also highlight the harsh living conditions of slaves, including overcrowding, poor sanitation, and inadequate healthcare.Overall, ""Notes On The Two Reports From The Committee Of The Honorable House Of Assembly Of Jamaica (1789)"" is a significant historical document that sheds light on the complex and controversial issues of slavery and the slave trade in Jamaica during the late 18th century.
