"Réflexions sur le sort des Noirs dans nos colonies" by baron Daniel Lescallier is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The book addresses the conditions and treatment of enslaved Africans in European colonies, particularly focusing on the moral and political implications of slavery. Lescallier's work reflects on the urgent need for reform concerning the institution of slavery and the treatment of Black individuals in these colonies. In this text, Lescallier presents a comprehensive critique of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, arguing for the gradual abolition of enslaved labor through humane practices and legislative reforms. He emphasizes the moral obligations of colonizers to treat enslaved individuals with dignity and to improve their living conditions. Through a series of reflective arguments, he suggests practical solutions for the transition away from slavery, including the abolition of the slave trade and the affranchisement of slaves. The text underscores the integral link between humane treatment of the population and the prosperity of the colonies, challenging the prevailing justifications for slavery that prioritize economic gain over human rights.
