Remarks on the African Squadron (1851)

By J.S. Mansfield

Book Overview

Remarks On The African Squadron is a book written by J.S. Mansfield in 1851. The book is a critical analysis of the United States' naval mission in Africa, which was established in the early 19th century to suppress the transatlantic slave trade. Mansfield, a naval officer, provides a detailed account of the squadron's operations, including its successes and failures, and offers his own recommendations for improving its effectiveness. He argues that the squadron's efforts were hampered by inadequate resources, poor coordination with other nations, and a lack of political will. Mansfield also highlights the ethical concerns surrounding the use of force to combat the slave trade and questions the effectiveness of the squadron's approach. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the United States' role in the fight against slavery and the challenges faced by those who sought to end this brutal practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
