Synopsis

The Rendition of Anthony Burns, Its Causes and Consequence; The Crisis of Freedom: Sermons (1854) is a book by James Freeman Clarke that delves into the controversial case of Anthony Burns, a fugitive slave who was captured and returned to his owner in Virginia in 1854. Clarke discusses the political and social factors that led to Burns' rendition, including the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and the tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery. The book also includes a series of sermons on the crisis of freedom, in which Clarke argues for the abolition of slavery and the importance of individual liberty. Overall, The Rendition of Anthony Burns, Its Causes and Consequence; The Crisis of Freedom: Sermons (1854) provides a powerful and insightful look into one of the most contentious issues of the pre-Civil War era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
