John Campbell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "A short sketch of the evidence for the abolition of the slave trade, delivered…" is a historical account likely written in the late 18th century. This work presents a compelling argument against the transatlantic slave trade, compiling evidence and testimonials intended to sway public opinion and Parliamentary decisions in favor of abolition. The book serves as an urgent call for moral and ethical reconsideration of slavery and its inhumane practices. The text meticulously outlines the horrific realities faced by enslaved Africans, detailing their experiences from capture and transport to brutal treatment and dehumanization in the colonies. It draws on firsthand accounts and testimonies from various witnesses, including sailors and abolitionist activists, to highlight the cruelty of the trade, the plight of the enslaved individuals, and the moral obligation of society to seek justice. The author argues that not only is the slave trade ethically indefensible, but it is also impractical from a policy perspective, emphasizing that humane treatment and the natural increase of the population could suffice for the colonies' labor needs. This passionate plea encapsulates both the emotional and rational arguments for ending this reprehensible trade.
