Free Negroism: or, Results of Emancipation in the North and the West India Islands

The pamphlet focuses on how the freedom of slaves would be detrimental to society. John H. Van Evrie maintains his anti-abolitionist opinion citing examples of the West India Islands and its consequences of emancipation. Examples of the commerce, wealth, and businesses of Haiti, Jamaica, and other islands are given with charts that show how it declined when slaves were emancipated. The author maintains that one group of people should be oppressed to benefit the majority of another.
