Walker's Appeal, with a Brief Sketch of His Life / And Also Garnet's Address to the Slaves of the United States of America

A brief life sketch precedes a fiery antislavery polemic that denounces the hypocrisy of American Christianity and republican ideals, confronts enslavement with moral and legal arguments, rejects colonization schemes, and urges enslaved and free Black people to assert their rights and consider resistance or self‑defense. The polemic is organized into a preamble and several articles that review historical and religious evidence, critique American institutions, and call for immediate emancipation. The volume closes with a companion address that offers practical exhortation and solidarity aimed at the enslaved population. Overall the collection combines biography, moral critique, political argument, and direct appeals for liberation.
