Description

**This is an re-typeset reprint edition of an historical book originally published in the 1800s. It does not advocate racial discrimination or bigotry in today's society.** Utilizing Scripture, philosophy and reason, the author of this treatise demonstrates that the institution of African servitude as it existed in the antebellum South served to maintain social order by denying liberty to those who were as yet unprepared to make proper use of it. Foreshadowing certain political ideologies of our own day, the agenda of nineteenth-century Abolitionism is also exposed as an attempt to completely destroy constitutional government and to substitute a lawless egalitarianism in its place.
