"Slavery in History" by Adam Gurowski is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The text delves into the complex issue of slavery across various cultures and civilizations, examining its social, economic, and moral implications throughout history. Gurowski appears to refute the notion that slavery is a natural or inherent condition of human society, arguing instead that it is a destructive force that leads to the decay of civilizations. The opening of the book presents a powerful argument against the justification of slavery by citing historical evidence. Gurowski emphasizes that slavery has not been an inherent part of any social system; instead, it manifests as a "general disease" that deteriorates societies. Furthermore, he introduces the idea that different cultures historically had varying attitudes towards slavery, often distinguishing between slaves as a result of war or conquest and those who were integrated into society without being dehumanized. Through a thorough examination of civilizations like the Egyptians and Phoenicians, the beginning of the work sets the stage for a critical exploration of how slavery has shaped human history and social structures.
