''Picture of Slavery in the United States of America'' is a book written by George Bourne and first published in 1834. The book provides a detailed and critical analysis of the institution of slavery in the United States at the time. Bourne, a Quaker minister, was a vocal abolitionist and used his position to expose the horrors of slavery and the inhumane treatment of enslaved individuals.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of slavery. Bourne discusses the history of slavery in the United States, the conditions of enslaved individuals, the economics of slavery, and the impact of slavery on society. He also includes personal accounts of enslaved individuals and their experiences, as well as examples of the brutal treatment they endured.Bourne’s book was influential in the abolitionist movement and helped to raise awareness of the atrocities of slavery. It was widely read and discussed, and played a role in shaping public opinion about the need for abolition. The book remains an important historical document and a testament to the bravery of those who spoke out against slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
