A Portraiture of Domestic Slavery in the United States: With Reflections on the Practicability of Restoring the Moral Rights of the Slave is a book written by Jesse Torrey Jr. in 1817 that provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the practice of slavery in the United States during the early 19th century. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which describes the harsh and inhumane treatment of slaves by their owners, including physical abuse, sexual exploitation, and forced labor. Torrey Jr. also explores the psychological impact of slavery on both slaves and slave owners, arguing that the institution of slavery is fundamentally immoral and dehumanizing.The second part of the book focuses on the possibility of abolishing slavery and restoring the moral rights of slaves. Torrey Jr. argues that slavery is not only morally wrong, but also economically inefficient and detrimental to the long-term interests of the United States as a whole. He proposes a number of practical solutions for ending slavery, including gradual emancipation, education and training programs for former slaves, and the establishment of free colonies for emancipated slaves.Overall, A Portraiture of Domestic Slavery in the United States is a powerful and compelling critique of the institution of slavery in America, and an important work in the history of the abolitionist movement. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the history of slavery in the United States, and the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality.With Reflections On The Practicability Of Restoring The Moral Rights Of The Slave, Without Impairing The Legal Privileges Of The Possessor And A Project Of A Colonial Asylum For Free Persons Of Color.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
