| Summary | "The Slave Trade, Domestic and Foreign" by Henry Charles Carey is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book examines the institution of slavery both in domestic contexts, particularly in the United States, and in foreign territories, focusing on its wide-ranging implications and the historical forces that sustain it. Carey aims to discuss why slavery persists and what can be done to eliminate it, delving into the moral, economic, and social arguments surrounding this profound issue. At the start of the narrative, Carey emphasizes the pervasive nature of slavery, detailing various forms it takes around the world and highlighting the moral outrage it evokes, particularly in connection with the African slave trade. He presents a call to action from women in England to their American counterparts, urging them to recognize and combat the injustices faced by enslaved people. The text also sets the stage for a deeper exploration of slavery's historical roots and the socioeconomic systems that have allowed it to flourish. Carey's preface establishes a critical tone, suggesting that prevailing views may be misguided, and posits that understanding the true causes of slavery is essential for devising effective methods to abolish it.
