Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a carefully researched, multifaceted study of the immediate and long-term consequences of Britain's 1846 Sugar Duties Act. The author analyzes how the act impacted the sugar trade, slavery, and the lives of those involved in both. It provides abundant evidence that the act was a short-sighted, disastrous policy that had unforeseen consequences that were far-reaching and damaging, including prompting a resurgence of the slave trade. This book positions this act within the broader context of British colonial history and the ongoing debate on free versus slave labor. It sheds light on the complexities of 19th-century economics and politics and their lasting effects on global trade and human rights.
