About This Book

The pamphlet argues that abolitionist agitation is misguided and injurious, asserting that slavery and cruelty are not synonymous, that immediate emancipation is impracticable, and that abolitionist leaders pursue political aims harmful to the nation. It defends slaveholders' conduct, advances scriptural interpretations to rebut abolitionist claims, and promotes colonization as a preferable remedy to the slave trade. The work critiques abolitionist rhetoric and periodical writings, contrasts colonizationist policies with abolitionist aims, warns of threats to the Union, and urges moderation, charity, and practical measures in addressing the condition of the colored population.
