About This Book
A systematic compilation of original documents, testimonies, legal opinions, and press reports assembled to substantiate a prior fictional portrayal of slavery, organized into topical chapters. The author analyzes slavery as a moral and religious problem, examines legal arguments and institutional mechanisms that sustain it, and addresses common defenses through factual rebuttal. Numerous corroborative statements and case studies illustrate patterns of abuse, the commerce surrounding human bondage, and the roles of individuals and authorities. The work is framed to persuade a Christian readership by bringing documentary evidence to bear on ethical and practical calls for reform.
