Suggestions, Arising From The Abolition Of The African Slave Trade For Supplying The Demands Of The West India Colonies With Agricultural Laborers (1807)

""Suggestions, Arising From The Abolition Of The African Slave Trade For Supplying The Demands Of The West India Colonies With Agricultural Laborers"" is a book written by Robert Townsend Farquhar in 1807. The book discusses the impact of the abolition of the African slave trade on the West India colonies and provides suggestions for alternative sources of labor to meet the demands of agriculture in the region. Farquhar argues that the abolition of the slave trade will lead to a shortage of labor, which will negatively affect the economy of the colonies. He proposes the importation of laborers from other countries, such as India and China, and the encouragement of immigration from Europe. The book also discusses the potential benefits of improving the conditions of the existing slave population and converting them into paid laborers. Overall, the book is a reflection of the debates and discussions surrounding the abolition of the slave trade and the future of labor in the West India colonies during the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
