Biblical Defenses Of Slavery 1864

Biblical Defenses of Slavery is a book written in 1864 by an author from South Carolina, which attempts to justify the practice of slavery using biblical references. The book argues that slavery was not only acceptable but also necessary according to the Bible. It cites numerous passages from the Old and New Testaments to support its argument, claiming that slavery was an institution ordained by God and that it was a natural part of human society.The author argues that slavery was not only a legitimate practice but also a moral one, as it provided slaves with a sense of purpose and direction in life. The book also claims that slavery was beneficial to both slaves and their masters, as it allowed for a stable and orderly society to exist.Despite its controversial subject matter, the book was widely read and discussed in its time, particularly in the southern United States, where slavery was still legal. Today, however, the book is viewed as a relic of a bygone era and is often used as an example of the flawed reasoning used to justify slavery in the past.Contains Practical Considerations Founded On The Scripture, Relative To The Slave Population Of South Carolina, A Candid Appeal To The Citizens Of The United States, Slavery Defended From Scripture, And Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
