"Meine zweite Weltreise: Vierter Theil: Vereinigte Staaten von Nordamerika" by Ida Pfeiffer is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the author’s observations and experiences during her journey through the United States, highlighting the culture, geography, and societal issues of the time, particularly focusing on the institution of slavery. Through her candid reflections and detailed descriptions, Pfeiffer provides readers with a unique glimpse into America during an era of significant change. At the start of the narrative, Pfeiffer arrives in New Orleans, vividly depicting the city’s landscape and its bustling activity. She describes the Mississippi River and the surrounding areas, contrasting their natural beauty with the grim realities of slavery that pervade the region. Through her encounters with enslaved individuals and her observations of their treatment, she expresses deep moral outrage and a critical perspective on the hypocrisy of a society that prides itself on freedom while allowing such inhumanity. This opening sets the tone for her exploration of the contradictions within American society, particularly in the context of race relations and the continuing practice of slavery.
