Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the contentious issue of slavery in the United States, as seen through the lens of a minister who faced conflict within his own congregation over his views on the subject. The author was a member of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1818, which unanimously passed resolutions condemning slavery as a moral wrong and advocating for its abolition. This book is written in the form of letters addressed to the author's former congregation, and the author outlines his personal journey towards freeing his own slaves and his belief that Christians have a moral obligation to end this practice. The book examines the historical and religious arguments surrounding slavery, drawing connections to the biblical texts used to justify it, and dissecting the complex moral and political implications of the institution. This poignant and thought-provoking examination of the morality of slavery, written in the heart of the antebellum South, provides a unique and powerful window into the complex social and religious landscape of that era.
