About This Book

A Southern polemic warns that Northern public opinion has become thoroughly anti-slavery and portrays abolitionism as a sectional political movement that threatens Southern institutions. It argues that only separation can prevent the imposition of Northern will and the Africanization of Southern society, defends slavery on racial, historical, and economic grounds, cites examples of Black republics and demographic and commercial stakes in cotton and sugar, and presents secession as a remedy for perceived federal despotism while appealing to providence and social order.
