Book Overview

A Caution to Great Britain and Her Colonies of the Calamitous State of the Enslaved Negroes in the British Dominions is a book written by Anthony Benezet in 1785. The book is a warning to the British government and its colonies about the inhumane treatment of enslaved Africans in the British colonies. Benezet, a Quaker abolitionist, presents a detailed account of the atrocities committed against enslaved Africans, including physical abuse, sexual exploitation, and separation of families. He also highlights the economic and moral consequences of slavery. The book argues that slavery is a violation of natural rights and that it is the responsibility of the British government to abolish it. Benezet's book was influential in the abolitionist movement and helped to raise awareness about the horrors of slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
