Foote is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles the author's experiences and observations while serving as a lieutenant commanding the U.S. Brig Porpoise along the west coast of Africa from 1850 to 1851. Foote's narrative focuses on the complexities of American interests in Africa during a time when the slave trade and colonial ambitions of European nations were at their peak. The opening of the book introduces the pivotal role of the American naval squadron stationed on the African coast in enforcing treaties to suppress the slave trade. Foote outlines the objectives of this military presence, which includes protecting American trade and preventing piracy while highlighting the moral and humanitarian implications of their mission. He sets the stage by discussing the historical context of European exploration, piracy, and colonization, foreshadowing a detailed exploration of Africa's geography, cultures, and the ongoing struggle against the abhorrent practices of the slave trade.
