An Appeal in Favor of That Class of Americans Called Africans

More about the book

The book explores the historical foundations of white supremacy, tracing its origins to the institution of slavery from the 15th to the 19th century. It examines how white Europeans justified the enslavement of Africans through rationalizations that conflicted with their Christian beliefs. While the United States was not the first to abolish slavery, its ideals of freedom and equality are critiqued for their hypocrisy, as the nation failed to fully recognize the rights of all its citizens.
