The Opportunity; or, Reasons for an Immediate Alliance With St. Domingo. By the Author of "The Crisis of the Sugar Colonies."

Originally published in 1814, this influential book argues for the abolition of slavery in colonial territories and advocates for an alliance between the British Empire and the newly-independent nation of Haiti. Written by James Stephen, an influential abolitionist, the book draws on interviews with Haitian leader Jean-Jacques Dessalines and offers a powerful critique of colonialism and slavery.
