Three Tracts Respecting The Conversion And Instruction Of The Free Indians And Negro Slaves In The Colonies is a book written by William Knox in 1789. The book is comprised of three tracts that focus on the conversion and education of free Indians and Negro slaves in the colonies. The first tract discusses the importance of educating and converting slaves, arguing that it is not only a moral obligation but also a practical one, as educated slaves are more productive and easier to manage. The second tract focuses on the conversion of Indians, arguing that they are a potential source of labor and that their conversion to Christianity will make them more loyal to the British Empire. The third tract discusses the practical aspects of educating and converting both groups, including the establishment of schools and churches. Overall, the book provides insight into the attitudes towards education and conversion of non-white populations during the colonial period.Addressed To The Venerable Society For Propagation Of The Gospel In Foreign Parts, In The Year 1768.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
