| Summary | "Lettre à l'Empereur Alexandre sur la traite des noirs" by William Wilberforce is a passionate letter advocating for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, likely written in the early 19th century. The book addresses Emperor Alexander I of Russia, appealing to his moral and religious duties to end the slave trade, highlighting its devastating impact on Africa and humanity as a whole. The opening of this letter establishes a somber tone, with Wilberforce expressing deep concern over the continuation of the slave trade despite international condemnation. He recounts the statements made at the Congress of Vienna regarding the abolition of the trade, contrasting them with the ongoing horrors and atrocities still prevalent in Africa. Wilberforce emphasizes the catastrophic effects of the slave trade on both victims and societies, aiming to awaken the conscience of European leaders and incite action against such a moral atrocity. He stresses the collective responsibility of nations to eradicate this "infamous commerce" that has brought suffering and degradation to countless lives.
