Book Description
Excerpt from A Letter to the Right Honorable Lord Brougham, on the Alleged Breach of the Colonial Apprenticeship Contract As experience has proved, that to prepare a man for liberty by the continuance of a state of bondage is impossi ble, -that to be educated for freedom he must be educated in it and as experience has also proved that the negro is fitted for emancipation, we maintain that it is expedient, it is necessary, to confer upon him its fullest measure. To withhold a right is to make men adversaries, to grant it is to convert them into friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.
