"The Horrors of the Negro Slavery Existing in Our West Indian Islands" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book addresses the brutal realities of slavery as it existed in the West Indies, utilizing official documents and reports presented to the House of Commons to demonstrate the inhuman conditions faced by enslaved people. Its content serves as a poignant indictment of the practices and attitudes surrounding slavery during this period. The text recounts several harrowing examples of cruelty and violence inflicted upon enslaved individuals, as illustrated by the gruesome details of reported murders and mistreatment. It highlights specific cases reported by officials, showcasing the societal indifference to the lives of those enslaved. The author critiques the legal framework that failed to protect slaves and notes the lack of humanity among slave owners and the local legislative assemblies. Through its graphic illustrations of these horrid acts and systemic injustices, the work seeks to garner public awareness and challenge the prevailing justifications for the slave trade and the institution of slavery itself.
