Digital copy?
Isn't this public domain text by now? If it is, has anyone found a digital copy that can be linked to? --Jspr 05:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Need to move book review to separate article
IMO, the problem is that we need to move/copy much of the text to a separate article Sufferings in Africa. That way, we can treat the book separate from the bio. The bio will be very short. Referencing either is quite different. One source, essentially, for the book, several for the bio. Student7 (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Moved book to Sufferings in Africa (book). Didn't solve all the problems, just the one!  :)   Student7 (talk) 18:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Question on sentence

 * What does "comes down to us today as a startling switch on the usual master-slave relationship" mean, if anything?


 * I tried to reword. The idea was anti-slavery, intending to make white people in America think that if reversing the then-not uncommon white owning black slaves, seemed unusual, that owning any slaves might be wrongful. This was early 19th century as the culture war over this was ramping up to the Civil War. Student7 (talk) 17:50, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
