Abolitionist Call for Slave Trade Endorsement Urges Parliament
A public letter to the printer praises a meeting of citizens men pledging support for abolishing the slave trade. It urges a national assembly to sign petitions to Parliament, argue humane treatment, and show that abolition can boost trade with African manufacturers while harming no revenue. The piece argues against private gain and cites moral duty and economic feasibility.
We have no slaves at home then why abroad
MERCATOR argues that slavery abroad taints Britain, noting slaves cannot breathe freely in England. He invokes the image that touching British soil should free them and transform England into a nation proud and merciful. He urges preaching emancipation to circulate through every vein of the empire and to extend mankind’s sense of mercy wherever Britain’s power is felt.
