520 _a"Earl Russell and the Slave Power" by the Union and Emancipation Society (Manchester) is a historical account published during the early 1860s. The book critiques the actions and policies of Earl Russell, particularly in relation to the American Civil War and the issue of slavery. It explores the implications of British foreign policy on the conflict between the North and South. In the text, the authors argue that Earl Russell's government failed to take a firm stance against the Confederacy, which was fighting to maintain slavery. They present a detailed analysis of key events, such as England's recognition of the South as a belligerent power, the lack of British support for the Union, and the impact of British actions on the war's progression. The authors contend that a more proactive and supportive approach towards the Union could have drastically altered the course of the war and potentially saved lives, highlighting the moral and political dilemmas of the time. Overall, the book passionately advocates for the cause of emancipation while criticizing the complicity of British policymakers in the maintenance of slavery.
