Joseph Sturge (1793 - 14 May 1859) was an English Quaker, abolitionist and activist. He founded the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society (now Anti-Slavery International). He worked throughout his life in Radical political actions supporting pacifism, working-class rights, and the universal emancipation of slaves. In the late 1830s, he published two books about the apprenticeship system in Jamaica, which helped persuade the British Parliament to adopt an earlier full emancipation date. In Jamaica, Sturge also helped found Free Villages with the Baptists, to provide living quarters for freed slaves; one was named "Sturge Town" in his memory.

""A Visit to the United States in 1841"" is a travelogue written by Joseph Sturge, a British abolitionist and social reformer, about his journey to the United States in the early 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of Sturge's experiences as he traveled throughout the country, including his observations on the political, economic, and social conditions of the time.Sturge's book is particularly significant for its commentary on the issue of slavery in the United States. As an abolitionist, Sturge was deeply troubled by the institution of slavery, and he wrote extensively on the subject in his book. He describes his encounters with enslaved people and slave owners, and provides a vivid portrayal of the brutality and inhumanity of the system.In addition to his commentary on slavery, Sturge also provides insight into other aspects of American society. He writes about the state of education, religion, and politics in the United States, as well as his experiences with Native American communities.Overall, ""A Visit to the United States in 1841"" is a fascinating historical document that offers a unique perspective on American society during a pivotal moment in its history. Sturge's observations and insights continue to be studied and analyzed by scholars and historians today.One of my fellow passengers had recently been traveling in the southern States, and showed me a letter given to him as a curiosity at the post office at Charleston, South Carolina, which was addressed by a slave to her husband, but from insufficient direction had never reached its destination. It was to convey the tidings that she was about to be sold to the South, and begging him, in simple and affecting terms, to come and see her, as they would never meet again. Another of the passengers, who had also been a fellow voyager with my friend Joseph John Gurney, had recently travelled in Texas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Joseph Sturge (1793-1859) and Thomas Harvey (1812-1884) were philanthropists involved with the anti-slavery movement. This volume, first published in 1838 and with a second edition (reissued here) in the same year, describes their 1837 visit to the West Indies and observations on the lives of ex-slaves.

Joseph Sturge (1793-1859) was an English Quaker who was influential in campaigning for the abolition of slavery in the British empire and founded the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in 1839. Having visited the West Indies in 1834, he travelled to the United States in 1841 to examine the slavery question there firsthand, and to lend his support to the American abolition movement by sharing his experiences of how success was achieved elsewhere. His account of his visit, and of the feelings and opinions of the American campaigners he met, is the subject of this 1842 book, which he hoped would encourage activists around the world and promote understanding among them.
