| | 1 | Author: | Vaux, Roberts,1786-1836. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Address on the impolicy of slavery, 1824
| | | | Dates: | 1824 | | | | Abstract: | This collection contains the text of a speech Robert Vaux, a Philadelphia-area philanthropist, delivered to the Association for the Education of Men of Colour. The speech's content is aimed at criticizing the institution of slavery and its effects on society. Vaux's speech sometimes applies a comparative historical account of slavery, discussing its practice in Europe, such as in Sicily and during Roman times. More often, he describes the ill-effects of slavery on the economy and general development of slave societies, often drawing comparisons to what life is like in the free states.
