How was it possible for opponents of slavery to be so vocal in
opposing the practice, when they were so accepting of the economic
exploitation of workers in western factories - many of which were
owned by prominent abolitionists? David Brion Davis's The Problem
of Slavery in the Age of Revolution, 1770-1823, uses the critical
thinking skill of analysis to break down the various arguments that
were used to condemn one set of controversial practices, and
examine those that were used to defend another. His study allows us
to see clear differences in reasoning and to test the assumptions
made by each argument in turn. The result is an eye-opening
explanation that makes it clear exactly how contemporaries resolved
this apparent dichotomy - one that allows us to judge whether the
opponents of slavery were clear-eyed idealists, or simply deployers
of arguments that pandered to their own base economic interests.
