The West India Question: Practically Considered is a book written by Robert Wilmot Horton in 1826. The book explores the issue of slavery and the sugar trade in the West Indies. Horton argues that the abolition of slavery would have a devastating impact on the economy of the region and that gradual emancipation, combined with other reforms, would be a more practical solution. The book also discusses the role of the British government in regulating the sugar trade and the need for reform in the industry. Overall, The West India Question provides a detailed analysis of the complex economic and social issues surrounding slavery and the sugar trade in the West Indies during the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
