John Lawrence

The Slavery Question

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The slavery question is a historical examination of the moral, political, and religious dimensions of slavery in the United States. With direct focus on the suffering of millions of enslaved individuals, the text delivers a forceful critique of slavery as an institution that defies ethical standards and endangers national integrity. The book aims to provoke the conscience of its readers, calling for a deeper awareness of the injustices endured by enslaved people and the spiritual decay caused by complicity in such oppression. The beginning presents a compelling appeal that frames slavery as a foundational wrong, rooted in greed and perpetuated by law and tradition. The author discusses how the denial of personal freedom and family life not only violates human dignity but also disrupts the moral balance of the nation. The narrative conveys a sense of immediacy and responsibility, insisting that citizens, when faced with such systemic cruelty, cannot remain neutral. Through a mix of historical detail, moral argument, and emotional force, the work sets out to show that understanding the full reality of slavery must lead to its eradication.
