A fiery 1850 sermon makes a moral case that truth and compassion must guide our laws, even in the face of slave catching. This tract presents a radical abolitionist voice that calls readers to resist re-enslaving a fellow human being and to stand for liberty grounded in Christian ethics.

The speaker blends scripture, personal conviction, and historical outrage to argue that human laws cannot trump justice and humanity. He warns against copying the slave system, urges public courage, and appeals for active aid to fugitives, even at personal risk.

- Understand the moral clash between civil law and higher, universal rights.
- Explore the rhetoric used to mobilize anti-slavery sentiment in mid-19th century America.
- See how religion, politics, and daily life intersect in abolitionist advocacy.
- Learn how a public sermon framed freedom as a sacred obligation.

Ideal for readers of abolitionist history and 19th?century religious rhetoric, this edition illuminates moral courage in the face of oppression.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book daringly explores the topic of slavery through the lens of a gripping speech given by a prominent statesman at the 200th anniversary of the landing of Puritan forefathers at Plymouth. Each word of the address is said to weigh heavily, reflecting both the immense intellect and compassionate spirit of its orator. The author delves into the powerful ideas and stirring thoughts that made young hearts beat with fervor for freedom and hatred of oppression, inspiring a young man to reiterate those sentiments to the best of his ability. This work probes deeply into the historical context of the abolitionist movement, examining the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 which criminalized aiding escaped slaves. The author argues that this law, even more inhumane than the international slave trade, made every citizen a potential slave catcher, thus enslaving the entire nation. The book masterfully weaves together Biblical injunctions, historical accounts, and impassioned pleas to denounce the Fugitive Slave Bill. It underscores the paramount importance of adhering to the law of God over the laws of man, compelling readers to question their own moral obligations and responsibilities. This thought-provoking book is a testament to the power of words to ignite change and challenge the conscience of a nation, offering profound insights into the enduring fight for human rights.
