Description

"...There was very little comfort on board La Estrella, after the suppression of this revolt. We lived with a pent-up volcano beneath us ..."The subject of the book "Captain Canot; or, Twenty Years of an African Slaver" is at once interesting and repulsive. It is interesting because it is connected with one of the great problems of early US history - because it throws new light upon the home-life, character, habits, and capacities for improvement of an enslaved people; and repulsive, because it vigorously and truthfully unveils the mysteries of a traffic which the civilization of the world had denounced as a crime, and which the humanity mourns as an outrage. Although, on the whole, Captain Canot modifies somewhat the horrors associated with the Slave Trade, he gives us great insight into its operations and the characters of those who are engaged in it. Strong indeed must have been the lust of gold, and extreme the moral debasement that could tempt men to embark in such a career when seen in the light of this volume. Brantz Mayer (1809 - 1879) was a famous American author and edited for a short time the Baltimore American newspaper. In 1855, he published his book "Captain Canot; or, Twenty Years of an African Slaver" which is the true story of the slave trader Theodore Canot.
