W. O. Blake's 'The History of Slavery and the Slave Trade' is a comprehensive compilation detailing slavery's historical reach, from ancient societies like Greece and Rome to modern eras. It uncovers overlooked hereditary slavery in England, examines slavery's impact on empire decline, delves into its role in U.S. politics and law, and challenges prevailing views on ancient slavery's forms and effects. The book also exposes the brutalities of the 19th-century slave trade and argues against slavery's ethical and legal grounds, emphasizing its contradiction with human rights and morality. The book focuses a significant portion to 'modern' American slavery and slave trade focusing on the annexation of Texas and the Missouri Compromise.
