Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the complex and historically fraught relationship between freedom and slavery, particularly in the context of the debate surrounding African slavery in the United States. The author, who spent time in the South and had extensive contact with slavery firsthand, explores the origins of slavery and draws connections between slavery and the rise of the free market, capitalism, and the unchecked pursuit of power. The author argues that slavery is a result of humanity's turn away from divine principles, and that it is ultimately an evil institution despite the physical benefits it may provide to the enslaved. The author discusses the impact of slavery on both the master and the slave, explores the rise of abolitionism and its role in ending slavery in the United States, and concludes by reflecting on the spiritual and moral lessons that can be learned from the history of slavery. Through an in-depth examination of the topic, this book provides valuable insights into one of the darkest chapters in human history and its lasting implications.
