Fugitive Slaves (Classic Reprint): A Sermon, Preached in the North Congregational Church, Winchendon, on the Day of the Annual Fast, April 11, 1850 - Couverture souple

- Considers the duties of officials who must decide between duty to the law and higher moral obligations.
- Discusses the tension between state authority, federal law, and individual conscience.
- Offers insight into the rhetoric and arguments used by anti-slavery advocates in the era.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the topic of slavery and servitude through the lens of a specific passage from the Bible. The author begins a historical review of laws pertaining to slavery and servitude as defined in the United States and traces their progression to the present day. The book navigates the legal, political, and moral dimensions of the subject, deftly exploring the evolution of the law and its interpretation. The author takes a deep dive into the complexities of the Hebrew laws, including the nuanced distinction between native and foreign servants, and its impact on the institution of slavery. The author firmly denounces chattel slavery while building a strong case against the inhumane Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. This riveting and well-argued book concludes by advocating for the supremacy of divine authority over human laws and institutions, eloquently arguing that justice and compassion should guide our understanding and treatment of fellow humans. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of slavery, the evolution of the law, and the enduring struggle for human rights.
