A Southside View of Slavery

More about the book

Through his firsthand journey from Boston to the South, Nehemiah Adams, an Abolitionist, challenges the prevailing narratives about slavery. Contrary to the expected depiction of cruelty, he presents a view of a well-ordered society where enslaved individuals appear content and cared for. Adams cautions against the Northern attacks on slavery, predicting dire consequences for both the Union and the Black population. Notably, he includes a chapter addressing Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin," providing a critical response to its portrayal of slavery.
