Summary: "American Slave Trade" by Jesse Torrey is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work delves into the systematic abduction and sale of free people of color in the United States, highlighting the brutal realities faced by individuals caught in the slave trade as well as the legal and social systems that uphold this institution. Through his writing, Torrey aims to expose the atrocities of slavery and the moral contradictions present in a nation that professes to value liberty. The opening of "American Slave Trade" sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the slave trade in the United States, elaborating on its geographical scope and legal context. Torrey begins with a personal account of his travels that allowed him to observe the practices of slave traders firsthand, providing a vivid depiction of the suffering endured by enslaved individuals. He invokes powerful imagery of the inhumanity of slavery, contrasting the celebrated ideals of freedom in America with the grim realities of those subjected to bondage. Torrey's reflections indicate a strong moral stance against these practices and signal a call for reform and justice, particularly concerning the plight of those wrongfully enslaved.
