Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a discourse delivered at the Congregational Church in Massachusetts in 1850 by a minister of the congregation, and published by bequest. It is an extended sermon about the Fugitive Slave Law, enacted months prior, a law which required that escaped slaves be returned to their masters and made it a crime to assist them. Analyzing the law through the lens of Christianity, the author argues that the law is unjust and a violation of the rights of human beings, especially as the law denies due process, suspends habeas corpus, and allows kidnapping under the guise of judicial forms. The author further argues that the law is a violation of God's law and that Christians must disobey the law, as the Apostle Paul counsels, and instead provide shelter and protection to fugitive slaves. This book provides essential context on the history of slavery in the United States, the Fugitive Slave Law, and the moral and legal arguments against it.
