Additional Details

An examination of the condition of the blacks in the French colonies relative to the prosperity of the French people. The author of this tract is definitely NOT an abolitionist. He refers to the French abolitionist society, "Les Amis des Noirs," the Friends of the Blacks, and asks that the French Congress pause a moment to consider the economic well-being of the nation weighed against the demands of the abolitionists.
