"An Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans Called Africans" by Lydia Maria Child is a socio-political treatise written in the early 19th century. This work passionately advocates for the rights of African Americans while denouncing the institution of slavery and the injustices it engenders. Child aims to awaken readers to the moral imperative of abolishing slavery and to consider the plight of African Americans as deserving of empathy and justice. At the start of the text, Child appeals directly to her readers, urging them to engage with her arguments regardless of their personal biases against the subject. She references historical instances of the slave trade and provides a brief overview of its catastrophic effects on Africa and its peoples, emphasizing the brutal nature of slavery and the exploitative practices that have arisen from it. The opening portion serves as a call to conscience, aiming to confront readers with the moral decay represented by the institution of slavery and rally them towards advocating for human rights and dignity.
