Book Description
This book examines the development of an antislavery ideology based in the origins of colonial Georgia. It reveals the real reason behind the founding of the Georgia colony, as a receptacle for debtors and the English poor and shows the conflict between labor, imperialism, philanthropy, and slavery that existed in the British Atlantic. Though the Georgia project ultimately failed, it signaled a challenge to the slave trade, and British imperial design.
