Publisher's Synopsis

American Slave Trade is a book written by Jesse Torrey in 1822. The book provides a detailed account of the slave trade in America during the early 19th century. Torrey describes the methods used by slave traders to capture and transport slaves from Africa to America. He also highlights the brutal treatment of slaves during the voyage and their subsequent sale at slave markets in America. The book also contains accounts of the efforts made by abolitionists to end the slave trade, including the establishment of anti-slavery societies and the publication of anti-slavery literature. American Slave Trade is an important historical document that sheds light on the dark history of slavery in America and the struggle for its abolition.
