Letter from Albert Bushnell Hart to Theodore Roosevelt

Albert Bushnell Hart questions why American colonial policy is allowing slavery in the Sulu Islands. The arguments for continuing slavery are the same that were used in the United States before the American Civil War. Hart believes that public sentiment would support ending slavery in the Philippines and the Supreme Court will likely rule against any form of servitude.
