More about the book

Published in 1865, this book provides a critical examination of the history of slavery in the United States and argues for the necessity of abolishing the practice. Child was a prominent abolitionist and writer, and this work reflects his deep commitment to social justice. Drawing on historical documents and legal arguments, Child makes a compelling case for why slavery is incompatible with the principles of democracy and human freedom.
