Scriptural and Statistical Views in Favor of Slavery (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Hook line: A provocative historical argument that frames slavery as divinely sanctioned and historically rooted in scripture and law.

This work presents a sustained, polemical interpretation of biblical texts and historical law to defend the institution of slavery in early American society. It traces claims from Noah through Abraham to early Christian eras, arguing that slavery was sanctioned by God, integrated into ancient and national law, and portrayed as a benevolent institution. The author contrasts this view with abolitionist critics and uses contemporary census-like observations to claim social stability and economic advantage in slaveholding regions. The volume invites readers to consider how religious interpretation and legal precedent shaped public policy and moral debate in 19th?century America.
