Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal to the Good Sense of a Great People The union of these States must not depend on false estimates of things or casualties. When a public journal of the South shall respond to a journal of the North - "You are wrong to say that we regard Slavery as a curse, or that we look forward with equal anxiety with yourselves, for a day of emancipation. The South views Slavery as an expedient - as a necessary institution and believes it the eternal destiny of the negro population - not on´y of these States, but of the world - whether by the fiat of nature, or revealed law, to live in bondage to the white" I say when this is the case, it is time that a clear and philosophic exposition of our reasons for so believing, should be candidly submitted to public investigation - and this - that our friends may be friends in truth, and not after the fantasies of their own brains. Political Societies are, and ever have been, as their names indicate, based upon policy If we could but resolve all our disputes into this one and only true channel, how much unnecessary anxiety and heart burning, would we not consequently avoid. In the present appeal, I shall claim of the North nothing more, and when they have heard me out, I am positive that policy will no longer remain a victim to the wild and reckless fury of fanaticism. But strange as it may appear, to bring this subject in its true light before my readers - to excuse myself for thus publicly obtruding my opinions upon an enlightened community, I must crave the sympathy of their patriotism. The galling conviction, that we are rushing thus headlong to destruction, by the policy, urged on by the envy and jealousy of a relentless foreign foe - has irresistibly impelled me to the step.
