Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sinfulness of American Slavery, Vol. 1 of 2: Proved From Its Evil Sources; Its Injustice; Its Wrongs; Its Contrariety to Many Scriptural Commands, Prohibitions, and Principles, and to the Christian Spirit; And From Its Evil Effects; Together With Observations on Emancipation, and the Duties of Ameri The General conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in 1848, appointed the author of these volumes to write the history of the Church for the four previous years, which involved, as a leading topic, a survey of the subject of slavery. This led him to as accurate and extensive an examination of shivery, in all its relations, as his capacity and means of information would allow. He had been, for the fifteen years previous to the last, engaged in conducting the periodical press, so that ample means of information were within his reach from this source. All the books published on slavery in this country, for the most part, form part of his library. The greater part, too, of what appeared in Britain, on the slave-trade, and emancipation, through the gift of Dr. Dixon, are in his possession. An inspection of the list of books and pamphlets, at the end of the second volume, will show, that all the important sources of information have been consulted. Before commencing, in form, the contemplated history, a careful study of the whole subject of slavery was necessary. This led to the preparation of the following volume, on the sinfulness of slavery, which is proved from its evil origin, its injustice, its wrongs, its conflict with Christian principles and the Christian spirit, and from its evil effects on all concerned in it. The material for the preparation of another volume, on Servitude and Slavery, is now collected. These volumes are intended to show that the Scripture neither sanctions nor tolerates slavery proper; that the regulations of the Mosaic code referred to servitude, so as to prevent it from running into slavery.
