Synopsis

Hook line: A provocative historical argument that frames slavery as divinely sanctioned and historically rooted in scripture and law.

This work presents a sustained, polemical interpretation of biblical texts and historical law to defend the institution of slavery in early American society. It traces claims from Noah through Abraham to early Christian eras, arguing that slavery was sanctioned by God, integrated into ancient and national law, and portrayed as a benevolent institution. The author contrasts this view with abolitionist critics and uses contemporary census-like observations to claim social stability and economic advantage in slaveholding regions. The volume invites readers to consider how religious interpretation and legal precedent shaped public policy and moral debate in 19th?century America.

• Explores how key biblical passages are read to justify slavery.


• Discusses the relationship between slavery, law, and national identity.


• Offers historical comparisons between ancient and modern slave systems.


• Engages with abolitionist arguments and defense of property rights in enslaved people.

Ideal for readers interested in 19th?century religious writings, American slavery debates, and the intersection of faith and public policy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
