Synopsis
Excerpt from The Natick Resolution or Resistance to Slaveholders: The Right and Duty of Southern Slaves and Northern Freemen
Capt. John Brown:
Dear and Honored Friend - (for the friend of the slave is my dear and honored friend) - A very large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of this town, without regard to political or religious creeds, was held last evening, for the purpose of considering and acting upon the following resolution: -
Whereas, Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God; therefore, Resolved, That it is the right and duty of the slaves to resist their masters, and the right and duty of the people of the North o incite them to resistance, and to aid them in it.
This resolution was adopted by the meeting without a dissenting voice. Though a United States Senator (Henry Wilson) and a United States Postmaster were present, yet not a voice was raised against it by them, nor by any one else, nor against the sentiments it contains. The meeting appointed me a committee to forward their resolution to you. In compliance with their request, and with the promptings of my own heart, I forward it.
The resolution, as you will see, simply affirms the right and duty of resistance, not merely to slavery as a principle or an abstraction, but to slaveholders, the living embodiment of slavery.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book presents an extensive letter from abolitionist Henry C. Wright to Captain Avis, the keeper of the jail in which abolitionist John Brown was incarcerated while awaiting execution. The author's letter argued that the execution of Brown would serve not to quell the abolitionist movement but to ignite it further, as Brown's actions had been based on principles that would continue to inspire others to fight slavery. In the book, the author elucidates how continued resistance against slavery is not only a right but a moral imperative, and that it is through the rebellious efforts of individuals like John Brown that the nation will be forced to confront its sins and move towards redemption. Throughout the book, the author also explores the intersection of abolitionism and Christianity, arguing that the true teachings of Christ endorse the fight against slavery and the liberation of the oppressed. This compelling book sheds light on the historical backdrop of abolitionism, the deep-rooted belief of its proponents, and the unwavering determination that drove their fight against slavery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
