Landing at New Orleans in the 1840s, a Welsh Congregational minister who had served a largely freed congregation in Berbice travels four thousand miles through the United States. His letters describe slave markets, churches and preachers who defend the system, and contrast American professions of liberty with what he saw.

A sharp outsider’s witness to slavery and its Christian apologists on the eve of the Civil War. Download the free EPUB.
