Slavery, Its Origin, Nature, And History: Considered In The Light Of Bible Teachings, Moral Justice, And Political Wisdom is a book written by Thornton Stringfellow in 1861. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the institution of slavery, exploring its origins, nature, and history. Stringfellow analyzes the concept of slavery through the lens of different perspectives, including biblical teachings, moral justice, and political wisdom. The author argues that slavery is a natural and necessary institution that has existed throughout history. He contends that it is not only a biblical practice but also a moral one, as it allows for the proper ordering of society and the preservation of social harmony. Stringfellow also addresses the issue of abolitionism, arguing that it is a misguided and dangerous movement that threatens the stability of society. He asserts that abolitionists are motivated by a misguided sense of moral superiority and fail to understand the practical implications of their actions. Overall, Slavery, Its Origin, Nature, And History provides a detailed and nuanced examination of the complex issue of slavery. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the historical and moral context of this controversial institution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

It cannot but be obvious to all intelligent minds, that among the complex questions which have so long agitated the whole land, and which have mingled their discordant elements in producing the present alarming political condition of the country, so deeply distressing to every patriotic mind, the moral and religious question of slavery stands forth most prominent. I ndeed, it is the fundamental question, and demands, first of all, a satisfactory settlement; for on the right decision of this moral and religious question depend all the other questions relating to slavery. Whether slavery, or the condition of being held in subjection to the will of another, is a divine institution, sanctioned by laws and commands, and regulated from the earliest times, or is forbidden as a sin as a violation of the laws of God is surely a fundamental question. Difference here, at the start, is antipodal. The course of conduct pursued by the believers in these two extremes, must of necessity lead to results as diverse as light from darkness. Until this point is satisfactorily settled we cannot reach the expediency or inexpediency, the advantage or disadvantage, of this system of servitude. If it is a sin, if the Bible shows it to be a sin, the controversy is settled; we can have no compromise with sin; we have nothing to do with it but to forsake it. Hence all whose consciences sustain them in that view of the question are at least consistent in their zealous opposition to slavery, and their determination to uproot it everywhere and at all hazards. On the other hand, if God has shown in his word and by his providence, that servitude or slavery, in its various modifications of form and duration, and of mild or severe character, has, from the beginning of the world, been an essential feature in His government of man ;that viewed from a loftier stand-point than is circumscribed by
