Book Description
Excerpt from White Slavery in the Barbary States: A Lecture Before the Boston Mercantile Library Association, Feb, 17, 1847 History has been sometimes called a gallery, where are preserved, in living forms, the scenes, the incidents, and the characters of the past. It may also be called the world's great charnel-house, where are gathered coffins, dead men's bones, and all the uncleanness of the years that have fled. As we walk among its pictures, radiant with the inspiration of virtue and of freedom, we confess a new impulse to beneficent exertion. As we grope amidst the unsightly shapes that have been left without an epitaph, we may at least derive a fresh aversion to all their living representatives. In this mighty gallery are the stately images of the benefactors of mankind, - the poets who have sung the praises of virtue, the historians who have recorded its achievements, and the good men of all time, who, by word or deed, have striven for the welfare of others. Here are depicted those scenes in which the divinity of man has been made manifest in trial and danger. Here also are those grand incidents which have attended the establishment of the free institutions of the world, - the signing of Magna Charta, with its priceless privileges of freedom, by a reluctant monarch, and of the Declaration of Independence, the annunciation of the inalienable rights of man, by the fathers of our republic. On the other hand, in this dreary charnel-house are tumbled in ignominious confusion all that now remains of the tyrants, the persecutors, and selfish men, under whom mankind have groaned. Here also are the extinct institutions or customs, which the earth, weary of their infamy and injustice, has refused to sustain, - the Helotism of Sparta, the Serfdom of Christian Europe, and Algerine Slavery.

Book Description
Written as a condemnation to slavery in the United States in 1847, Charles Sumner discusses White Slavery in the Barbary States of North Africa. This work covers an important yet detailed history of contemporary Christian slavery that took place among Morocco, Algiers, Tripoli and Tunis from the 1600s to the 1800s. It is a study that details various sources of records and correspondence regarding piracy that led to the profitable capture of tens of thousands English and American Christians by the Algerine corsairs and the the responses by western governmental authorities at the time that led to its abolition.

Book Description
The territory now known as North-Africa is memorable in history. Classical inscriptions, broken arches, and ancient tombs--the memorials of various ages--still bear instructive witness to the revolutions which it has encountered.Algiers, for a long time the most obnoxious place in the Barbary States of Africa, with Tripoli and Tunis, used to be the chief seat of White, Christian slavery. The revolting custom of White Slavery in the Barbary States was, for many years, the shame of modern civilization. The nations of Europe made constant efforts, continued through successive centuries, to procure its abolition, and also to rescue their subjects from its fearful doom.This piece of forgotten history was delivered as a lecture before the Boston Mercantile Library Association in 1847.

Book Description
Occasional incidents continued to occur until another British raid on Algiers in 1824, and finally, a French invasion of Algiers in 1830, which placed it under colonial rule. Tunis was similarly invaded by France in 1881. Tripoli returned to direct Ottoman control in 1835, before finally falling into Italian hands in the 1911 Italo-Turkish War. The slave trade finally ceased on the Barbary coast when European governments passed laws granting emancipation to slaves.This is a part of "slavery" and the slave trade that they don't teach in American schools. Slavery is about one group of people subjecting another group to subhuman treatment, whether it's race-based or not.It happened all over the world. Race was merely a cover - or a convenient excuse - for this human atrocity.
