Focusing on the competition among Spain, France, and England in the New World, the book delves into the dynamics of empire-building and the resistance against it. It offers a comprehensive analysis of slavery, tracing its roots from early practices in Africa and the Arab world to the eventual legal abolition in the British Empire and the United States during the 19th century. Through extensive archival research, the author highlights the complex interplay of imperial ambitions and the moral implications of slavery.
