A propos de cet article

Early edition, being a reprint of the 1851 Louisville edition. Each page printed within a decorative chain-line frame, the stereotyped title-page makes reference to engravings but none are called for in this edition. Tall 8vo, in the publisher's original brown cloth, the covers with decorative embossing retaining the emblem of the Louisville publishers in blind, the spine lettered in gilt and with flat bands ruled in blind, powder-blue endpapers. xiii, 569, 8, [8 ads] pp. A sound copy, the text-block well preserved and complete, a bit of expected age toning to the paper and light foxing here and there as usual, the binding with some age-wear but still very sturdy, strong and tight. ONE OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS PRO-SLAVERY BOOKS PUBLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR. The author stylized himself as "the Rev. Josiah Priest" but was not ordained in any denomination. The present Louisville text evolved from an earlier version titled "Slavery, As It Relates to the Negro, or African Race" published in 1843. It went through numerous editions and title changes during the 1840s and 1850s, reflecting the growing sectional controversy over slavery. The popularity of the work exploded in 1852 as it was viewed as a counter-argument to Stowe's pro-abolitionist epic, UNCLE TOM'S CABIN. The work's central claim is that slavery is fully sanctioned and approved of by the Bible. Among his arguments are: people of African descent were descendants of Ham, and therefore subject to a divine curse; the racial differences were ordained by God; that slavery was beneficial or natural for Black people; and that abolitionism was a dangerous fanaticism threatening the social order and status quo. Although repugnant to many modern readers, the book is historically significant because it demonstrates how slavery's defenders tried to answer the growing abolitionist movement. The title also accurately states that the issue of slavery was going to divide the Republic, thus predicting the Civil War.…
