White Slavery In The Barbary States is a historical book written by Charles Sumner, an American politician and abolitionist, in 1853. The book explores the history of the Barbary States in North Africa, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, and their practice of enslaving white Europeans and Americans during the 16th to 19th centuries. Sumner provides a detailed account of the capture, enslavement, and treatment of white slaves by the Barbary pirates, as well as the efforts of European nations and the United States to end the practice of white slavery. The book also examines the impact of white slavery on European and American societies and the role it played in the development of the transatlantic slave trade. White Slavery In The Barbary States is a significant historical work that sheds light on a little-known aspect of slavery and the slave trade in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
