About this book

In a pivotal moment of the mid-19th century, as abolitionist movements gained momentum, J. Ewing Ritchie’s "Thoughts on Slavery and Cheap Sugar: A Letter to the Members and Friends of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society" confronts the moral implications of the sugar trade intertwined with the institution of slavery. Ritchie articulates the urgent need for ethical consumption, challenging readers to consider the human cost behind their sweet indulgences. With a focus on the stark realities of exploitation and the call for unalienable rights, this pamphlet serves as a vital resource for civic activists and historians alike. Engage with Ritchie's compelling arguments that remain relevant in today’s discussions on ethics and commerce.
