ABSTRACT
WE have glanced at the nature and extent of slavery in the preceding chapter, and I have indicated the methods of doing away with domestic slavery. It remains to say a few words relative to the modes of preventing the acquisition and the export of slaves. In the past our efforts have been solely confined to the latter, and we have allowed both slave-trading and slave-raiding to go on completely unchecked in the interior, limiting our action solely to the coast and the export of slaves by sea.
